Dr. Jones,

I hope that the shooter and the shooting hand are fine. We need to thank the following :

1. God Almighty
2. Relatively milder ballistics of a .32 acp as compared to some "other " calibers which we are not allowed or are unable to possess.
3. Indian Government and its Arms Act and the import policies that facilitate point number 2. :mrgreen:
4. Manufacture d'Armes de Bayonne, France for making a very strong sturdy pistol and its components.

On a more serious note, how come the lead bullet was left in the barrel. Was it KF ammo ?

best,

Rp.

Hi Mr.RP,
My friend is a lawyer, he keeps it for self defence,a novice about guns. i told him the same thing that its a miracle that he is fine. He shot the first shot and all he heard was a muffled sound, he thought the cartrige didn't fire properly, so he took the jammed shell out and fire the next round without the slightest idea that the slug is still inside. he says he just got a nasty shock and the pistol fell down :? . Anyway we need a new barrel, can someone give a helping hand?

I could have suggested a name or two had you been up north, I am sorry I do not know of anyone in your neck of woods.
