A man named Luigi Mangione shot and killed a man named Brian Thompson on December 4, 2024.
My wife thought he was going to get away with it.
Having done a small amount of work on the systems that track people in large cities I thought it was unlikely.
We made a bet. If the shooter is caught within 6 months, she would buy me a model 41 handgun. If not, I would buy her a large lizard.
He was caught 5 days later.
The model 41 is an accurate handgun chambered in 22lr. It is particular about the ammunition it takes and I tried several different kinds before I settled on the CCi minimag as the most reliable.
CCi minimag is a high velocity (~1200 feet per second) round. It has a copper plated round nose instead of a lead nose so your fingers don’t get as dirty and the round feeds easily.
This is a container for 100 rounds CCi minimag ammunition. The label wraps around the lip and you have to slice it in order to slide the top off and access the rounds.
