    had 10mm delta combat late 80s liked ballistics of 10 loved gun first 500 rounds then hated it the heat pressure of round warped barrel could not hit what you aimed at then 40 became cheaper round.. I assume that been fixed?

    I am a fan. Most factory loads don't give the real .357 experience nowadays. The Coonan is a bit of an oddball and mags are expensive as all get out.......but semi auto .357! !

    I think a large pistol caliber suppressed SBR would be pretty fun to shoot.

    Bought it this way. It was the builders wife's backup gun. I lured him into a trade for wood plus cash. He wasnt really gonna sell it but His wood guy was selling him green crap. We are both happy with the deal.

    Dry wood for the win. :):thumbs:

    He's testing real world reliability of a dirty weapon!
    People think aks and Glocks only run dirty!:cool:

    On a serious note I run my new(and old :whistle:) guns dirty, the grime helps clearence stuff and if it doesn't run dirty I don't trust it!
