Thanks for all the "well wishes" on the Jackhammer guys....there is a great crowd and atmosphere on here...I am glad the positiveness is coming back with an easy going attitude as to "when" on the new release....it is a much better way to look at things....not sure now why I was getting wound up by it all...first time inexperience I guess....I forgot about 48 hrs notices etc and figured the shop could sell out in quick time.....so missing the announcement was an over weighted concern. Now I am happy that the notice period will be a safety net.

Great photo's of your JH Ted.....lovely Ruger .22 in the photo's as well. Over here in the UK before pistols were banned we had an easy going attitude on silenced/moderated pistols and rifles....we still do on rifles...it is to do with a positive Health and Safety view on Noise Abatement....well my favourite pistol for practising was a Hi Standard integral moderated .22....
great pistol with Eley sub-sonic ammo...you could practise anytime...no noise concerns at all. That pistol was brilliant.I had that, a Para Ordinance custom .45 P14 for practical pistol comps and a 625 S&W .45ACP with full moon clips and a great double action only trigger job. Used this for the Revolver PP comps and the same ammo was a bonus on reloading convenience. I really miss those pistols!

Now I only get to shoot pistols through the TA and have very infrequent use and the pistols are just regulation issue Brownings HP's which have seen better years and are as loose as sin. If I were able I would like a Novak Hi-Power as my own pistol but we are not able to easily own your own pistol....got to go with what your issued....if and when you were allocated one. Been contemplating getting one and keeping it at a Heritage centre where we can shoot them but they must stay on site. Heritage pistols need to have a "collectable" aspect to them.....so a Renaissance HP would qualify....pretty and expensive but very much a useful performer.Either that or a Sig P210 target model.
