• Possible Downtime Alert

    I am working to migrate THR from the current cluster to a new one. I would like to get this done before the weekend, but it's unclear what the timeframe will be, as testing is still ongoing. As I am writing this the new (rebuilt) host is doing a burn-in to ensure that everything will keep running under load.

    When the migration happens users will see a Cloudflare message indicatating it cannot connect to the server. This is expected, and depending on how the migration goes this may last from 30 minutes to 3 hours - I won't know more until testing the various migration options is complete and I have finalized the plan.

    More information is available in this thread.

    As always, thanks so much for your patience.

I own one, and have since the 1980's. Mine has been reliable, and accurate, with ammo that it liked. It's a bit finicky with JHP, as were most of the early 1980 handguns.

Mine is a Model 400S Mk. II.
 
I`ve owned several of the sterling 380`s. for the most part they are pretty good little guns. kinda picky on ammo. i sold all of them in the $200-$250 range..
 
The company went out of business when some brain-dead kid decided to show his girl-friend his gun. He dropped the magazine, but didn't clear the chamber. He pointed it at her, pulled the trigger, and killed her. The law-suit claimed that, because the gun didn't have a magazine-disconnect, it was faulty. The company was a small part of a conglomerate, and was folded by the parent company, to settle the suit.

As I said, it was a 1980's design, and was finicky about JHP designs feeding. The older Remington JHP was fine, as was the Winchester Silvertip. For an inexpensive gun, it had a nice trigger pull. Dis-assembly required a screw-driver, and actually reading the owners manual. :what:
