    Me too! But pellets are a lot cheaper than cartridges, and you can shoot them in your backyard.

    True. However I only shoot handguns about once a month, usually in the US, S.Africa or Thailand. 9mm is pretty cheap once a month, I get reduced rates at the ranges I go to so $30 goes a long way .

    If you can afford to travel from the UK to the US, South Africa, or Thailand once a month: then the cost of a box of pistol cartridges shouldn't be a problem for you!

    Remember that it's got to hold at least 6 rounds, for Police Pistol.

    It wouldn't be a secret then would it . However, I'm not a stewardess or whatever they are called these days.
