Those are, "SPEER", Target (.38) or (.45) I still have a couple of boxes of the .38s. You need good ventilation to use them inside, as the primers put out quite a bit of smoke. (Fulminate of mercury)I remember back in the 60's/70's there used to be a plastic shell/bullet that you could put a primer into and fire it from your gun for indoor target practice.
Seems like a friend of my dad's had one of those and it was pretty quiet, too.
I won't use the colibri. Period. Unreliable. Unbelievably inconsistent. Easily could leave a bullet lodged in the barrel. I ranked 22lr cartridges the other day on a different thread and I think I had it ranked at the very bottom or close to it.In this day and age, probably about any .22 would work, but specifically, Probably a Savage Mk.1 or possibly a Chiappa Lil' Badger.
Both are single shot rifles and pretty accurate.
...maybe even one of those kids rifles, like a Cricket or a Badger.
As for ammo, I think the flobert round's closest modern relative is the Aguila Colibri.
It makes a CCI Quiet sound like a magnum.

Multiple issues. Multiple Failure to fire. So inconsistent it was pretty ridiculous. Impact difference on bench rested measured in feet. Sometimes it seemed like it barely made it to the target. I will not use again.Have you ever had an actual issue with the Colibri, like having a bullet lodged in the barrel?
Oh heck these work great! I've shot bunches of them however I highly recommend anyone who does to just use resized .38, .357 or 9mm brass.Holy crap! They still make them!
