My VP70 has a 18 round clip.
I carry 2 spares .
As it is a hammer-less double action I keep one in the pipe.
Click the safety off and I'm ready.
55 rounds with only two changes.

Very nice Bryan.

I also have the shoulder stock.
You know what that does when it is attached don't you?
I purchased the rig in Germany in the '70s from the Rod & Gun Club on Base.

I'm up because my wifes 2 alarms start going off at 5:30, and she hits the snooze every 5 minutes, my sons goes off at 6:00, and my 5 year old daughter started crying at 6:05!
