Son #2 is a coach and referee and often gets called to be the starter for track meets. The cost and availability of .32 S&W blanks is high and non. I've made him a bunch over the years. Not hard other than the things being tiny for my gnarled 80 year old shop worn fingers.
Doing some research I've found several starter guns being offered that take 209 primers. Traditions makes one for a C-note, Charter has one for about $300.
Have any of you dog trainers or refs tried one? I have a good stash of Cheddite 209s and they are replaceable. Actually, one 1000 round brick is about what two hundred blanks cost a couple years back. Maybe 250.
