Missed it by that much!
I was watching a Charter Arms Bulldog 44 Spl on an auction for the last several days. It sat around 200 bucks and didn't have but a couple bids. I set a reminder on my phone to remind me to bid before the end last night. I messed up and didn't take the difference in time zone into account, so my ala...

Re: New Garmin Zero chronograph
I love my Garmin! I've used it with everything from 17 HMR to 375 H&H. It's never failed to pick up a shot, extremely easy to set up and use, and the app to get all the data to your phone is very simple too.
Not an inexpensive unit, but worth every penny for me.

I would get it secured in a solid vise and soak it with some good penetrating oil like Kroil for a few days. Then take a small punch and try tapping it from the side on that broken edge as far out from the center as you can get to get it to turn. If it's still a no-go then try a little heat from a h...

Those are neat little pistols. Glad you have it to enjoy.
I had a Baby Browning that I got from a late Uncle. But foolishly used it as trade fodder for a levergun a few years ago. One of many gun regrets.
