Or do I do something different? Have a look at the Humane Slaughters Associations website most of the information you require will be there, also a lot of licensing authorities will use the HSA for advice when dealing with requests for weapons for humane dispatch.

No this was a very short barrelled pistol with no back spike. You see a lot of LBPs on the ranges all the time. 1 hour ago, WalkedUp said: Are you 100% that they were not long barrelled pistols?

I think the BDS would be another possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen people shooting with them at Bisley like the pistol ban never happened. Guessing that they didn't worry to much about the conditions on their fac then!

Scully Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 10 hours ago, Vince Green said: Yes seriously and the last one was a six shot Taurus 357, I asked the man how he got it and he said he just applied. His attitude was you have to be able to familiarise yourself with the pistol. I have seen others too but I don't shoot on the Winians range at Bisley any more so I don't know how prevalent it is now. I did think at the time that this could be a way back into having pistols. They downgraded expanding ammo because it became too much trouble to administer.. If everybody applied …………... Mmmmm, maybe I should reapply. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a great name for a film - rouge warfare in the lambing shed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisley , and a few other ranges allow use (and storage ) for sec 7/3 pistol. They arent necessarily HD pistols that Vince has seen, especially if they have full mag or cylinder capacity. http://www.hbsa-uk.org/HBSA-what-we-do/heritage-pistol-section-7-1-7-3/heritage-pistol-sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I could be wrong about Vince’s experience, but if the gentleman in question pistol is conditioned for HD, then he cannot claim to be ‘getting familiar’ with it. Had it been held on Sect 7 then the range in question has to be closed and Vince wouldn’t have been allowed on site. I still hold a Glock19 and Taurus 627 tracker in Frogland, but as it has finally sold then this August will be my last ‘play’ before having to sell.... oh well, LBR here but just not the same.

Have you had a look at Westlakes .357 S+W muzzle loaders ? Sec 1 , and as close as it gets to the 'real' thing . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I did when when he utilised the Taurus frames, he then went with Alfa frames and I wasn’t so taken. Changed my variation from one to an LBR As I have a ‘gallery’ rifle then I like the shared cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPP Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 It really gets my goat the hoops we have to jump through .. surely if we are sensible enough to have CF rifles, semi auto RF rifles, Semi auto 12 bore with potentially 14 capacity that fire slugs, couldn't we be allowed hand guns (again)? It seems odd that law abiding citizens are not allowed them but they are de rigeur for any wanna be Gangster (innit). Maybe a parliamentary petition to have ' because they look cool and are fun' added as good reason on the licensing list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a parliamentary petition to have ' because they look cool and are fun' added as good reason on the licensing list I had to still jump through the hoops for my initial application for the pistols and semi automatic rifles in France. The renewal went from three to five years and was pretty painless. Just have to get your ‘carnet’ stamped by the club a min of three times a year and visit the docs once a year for a little ‘chat’, jobs a good un. After each shooting/Terror attack, things did change slightly as in hi capacity mags etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymo Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Will keep an eye out. An amendment to my earlier- it was the switch to Armscor frames that put me off ( supposedly like the made of cheese chiappa stuff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
