Pretty cool Willem!
 
Great picture. I think I would be afraid of loosing a hand doing that.

You and me both! I've known of some old M16s wasteing a receiver because of water in the barrel.

Bob i believe when you fire the pistol underwater it is safe as all the pressures are equal, same as when firing out of water in normal air, but the water in the barrel scenario is the same as any blockage and could result in damage.
 
Spike you maybe 100% right but I would have felt safer using a revolver.

Hello there. I’ve been wanting to introduce myself personally & chat with you about hunting Nilgai. Give me a call sometime…

Best,

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary

Booked with Harold Grinde - Gana River - they sure kill some good ones - who'd you get set up with?
