    Took it to the range again today, this time with round nose Fiocchi 95 gr's. Cycled, ejected as a gun should. Plenty accurate for the distances it's meant for. Magazine didn't keep falling out as it did with the flat nosed bullets I used last week, can't remember the brand.

    Period mag worked as well as the modern one I got for it.

    Since it's so very tiny, and was designed before "Weaver" or "Modern Technique", I actually shot it better one handed, both right and left handed.

    If I didn't have a pile of more modern ones, I would absolutely not hesitate to use or recommend it for EDC.

    I quit going to gun shows several years ago but ventured out to the Dayton community gun show yesterday. I found a beautiful Marlin Original Golden 39AS lever action .22 rifle and it followed me home! It's in terrific shape, a 1996 vintage and even the front sight hood was original!

    This was a quest of many years and I just about gave up on getting one.

    I've owned two Marlin 39A rifles and stupidly traded them off. This one isn't going anywhere!

    Worthy of note: Dayton events welcome concealed and OC pistols in their facilities! They just ask that you show your LTC to the officer at the door as you enter.
