    Oops.
    .44 Russian is obsolete

    It is however just another very common current cartridge slightly shortened and there lies the problem.

    The other issue is if you are caught with an antique pistol as long as you haven’t got ammunition you are committing zero offences even if it’s in your pocket on the high street.
    A man can always use more alcohol, tobacco and firearms.

    I just seen the ad on tv for this... it looks like the BBC storey up shite again... I have a feeling it will be so riddled with half facts and lies that it will be very painful to watch
