Ok I picked an Eibar copy of a S&W model 10. I went to East Alton to the handgun range runned by Winchester. Went up to the firing line with .38 special ammo and it wouldn't FIT! One of the Range Officers examen the gun and it turned out to be in .32 S&W long.
Lucky me they have the right ammo there, so I shot 50 rounds to see how it handled. The gun is alright but I wanted a gun in .38 special NOT in a caliber I'll have a hard time finding.
While I was there I fond... oops I mean shot some of thier guns. They were:
Model 21 Glock(.45 ACP)
a .40 S&W DA auto(also S&W)
a .22 S&W DA revolver
a .22 S&W SA auto
And a Ruger 22/45
All togother I shot 200 rounds of ammo. The brass from the Glock was hitting me in the face, the first .40 kept jamming up on me. The revolver and Ruger 22/45 I liked and want to have.
The Eibar doesn't have the caliber stamped on the barrel and I'm thinking this is an honest mistake by the gun shop owner. I'm going back to the Gun Room in Edwardsville to try to get my money back or get a gun in the caliber I wanted. I liked the gun itself but it's in the wrong caliber.
One question, Where can I legally shoot in Madison County IL?
