Maybe- but on a related note, I’ve had a .22 size plastic/rubber strip like that for years.
The other day it disintegrated in my back pocket!

I plan to carry it as a reload for my Rossi snub .38 Special. More comfortable in a pocket than the normal round speed loader.

I squeezed a Turkish 8x57 stripper clip into becoming a .38 Special stripper clip- sort of.

That actually reminds me of that time I loaded my .377” 250 gr Lees in .410 shotgun shells as a “sabot slug”……[emoji41]

The sliding door mechanism looks like the one on an 1873 rifle that I just repaired.
Except this one was a crescent type(rifle) buttplate.

I had the .410 solid frame pump that the 170 was based on and if you didn’t pump it “briskly” it was prone to hanging up like Pietro mentioned.
The Remington pump rifles were the best.

I find the S&W folding 9mm carbine interesting. If it was available in .45, I’d find it irresistible…..

The Remington 180 gr RN bullet in the .303 British factory loads was available as components back when I had my first Krag. They measured .310” and shot better than .308” bullets.

About 27 years ago, my 2 year old nephew asked me what my name was.
I said “I’m Bob.”
He still calls me Uncle Bob after all this time.

You’ve got to hit them in the white part to knock them OFF the table.
The .45 auto with 200 SWC worked well, and no one used a 9mm back in the day around Texarkana for the shoots that we went to....
