I shot well over 25,000 rounds of 38 ammo thru a mod 586 in 16 years of op competition never a single hiccup. Cleaned it thoroughly after each match and each practice session. Still shoot it now
Don't carry a 45 ACP any more . Arthritis is kicking my butt. Sold my S&W 4516 and 4506. These days usually a light weight scandium j frame or a plastic 9mm
I have not bought any cast bullets. For many years we casted 158 gr Keith . 357 and 240 gr Keith style
Still have several thousand left, more than I'll ever load and shoot
I have the small and large 110's. Carried larger one for many years in my younger days. Steel,Brass and wood make a beautiful knife But as I've gotten older I carry a Kershaw with pocket clip
