I went out to the range today to get some velocities on a new load for my .44 magnum. After a few rounds, I saw stuff come flying off the pistol. It was the ejector housing, spring and rod. I found them on the ground beside me. No problem. But wait, there is also a screw that holds the ejector in place. I looked all over for it. In front of the shooting bench there is astro turf grass which is pretty deep. I looked all over but certainly couldn't see it. Then the light came on in the attic. The club has a magnet which they use to police up steel shell casings. The missing screw is magnetic, so I gave it a try. Sure enough it picked up the screw. Talk about luck. I looked around and saw the peasants rejoicing. Life is good.
