The pistol when we finishedad a 6-inch barrel, a man-sized set of stock.,irget sights, a refitted action, a honed andebuilt trigger. It was a target gun in theest accepted pattern.

Ieally had hopes for this latter number.shortened the .380 case until it containednly powder space sufficient for a chargeiat would blow your nose and little more.Iespite these alterations it kicked. It hadà have the feel of the .22 or else I wouldot be content.I looked over the .30 Mauser but it was aottleneck and I could not see how it mighte made to pay dividends. I reduced the casemgth of the .38 Super Colt as I had doneie .380 and eventually developed a 25-yardipidfire load that was a red-tailed whiz.'ut the powder charge wouldn't carry thelug to 50 yards with the gilt-edged accuracyhad to have. Recoil, too, was there.I tried the .32 S&W Long. As a matter oftct I shot this load in choice over the .38pecial for some time. It did recoil but theick was not marked and the accuracy waslir.

A bit of hasty conversion persuade.me that 5.5 milimeters came out to mightnearly 2%oo of an inch. My interest quickened. The revolver was French-made, an'like all froggie ordnance was about as satas morals along the Rue Pigalle.
