Thank you for the interesting bit of information. I am very well read, and I thought guns were almost impossible to own in Mexico. I'm glad, for your sake you can have at least those you mention. And let me state again, that's a FINE Heavy Duty you have there. You'll really enjoy shooting it, as will several generations after you. Those puppies are brute strong, and just plain COOL.
Now we want range reports.
Stay safe.

Interestingly enough, millions of Mexicans believe they cannot own a firearm. The Government, the Army, and the Police do everything -- including lie -- to discourage the civilian ownership of firearms. The fact is, however, that you are allowed to have firearms although there are rather draconian restrictions. Still, a .358 diameter 170 grain Semi-wadcutter style projectile smashing it's way into the party at 1,150 fps+ is a great party-crasher and the launcher for that sort of thing can be legally owned here if one gets lucky enough to find one and become the owner.
Right now, Lazcool and I and some of our group (we have about 30+ shooters, so we're doing pretty well actually) are planning to meet before the end of the week to hopefully test out:
1. My Heavy Duty.
2. Lazcool's Heavy Duty.
3. Lazcool's Pre-War Outdoorsman
4. A friend's 27-2 that has been reverse engineered into a 23. That one we won't discuss much but there are more than a few around. The "Real Thing" is highly coveted but where it cannot be obtained, a reasonable facsimile is often constructed. Model 20's, on the other hand, tend pretty much to be originals when encountered down here.
I think Lazcool always has a camera so we should be able to get some photos if we can actually get out to shoot.
