Try as I might, I just can’t wrap my head around what the recoil would be like whilst firing .303 in a pistol.

I got it from Oman. This is the history as I know it….it was on a ship that sunk off the coast of Oman and it is one of those Sniders salvaged by the locals, many years later it was captured by the Sultans Armed Forces from rebel forces.

I have a Snider that is stamped up with New Zealand marks. It was recovered from rebels in Oman in the 1980’s.
