Well you won't regret it Mick! And you certainly do deserve it!

I think I'm looking forward to seeing your 2nd Gen Whitneyville!

Mike Bellevue finally got a Polish Capper last year, and did a video review of it. He didn't like it. He said his had some kind of problem and I believe the good folks in Poland took care of it for him. Their customer service is top notch. But if you watch the video, he really fumbles around with the thing, like a sophomore on prom night. He just doesn't seem comfortable with it. It does take a small amount of getting used to. But once you do, it works perfectly.

Can't wait to hear your report.

My capper inventory includes straightline cappers;  Ted Cash rifle cappers in both brass snd nickel; and Ted Cash revolver cappers in both brass and nickel. Most cappers have been fitted to work smoothly.  My go to capper is a nickel revolver capper.  When I was shooting Cowboy matches, I carried a capper in a holster on my pistol belt and a backup in my gun cart.  I've managed to wear out a couple of revolver cappers shooting CAS. The fingers on the cover get worn off when you cap a revolver 10,000 times or more with one.

I haven't seen any reason to try one of the Polish cappers.
