they are as reliable as one can possibly get.

But since they are unnamed, please exercise your own best judgement in using this information. And I would suggest (and request) that this information be quoted as coming from ThePuristS.com if it is to be quoted in any sort of authoritative context.

We here at ThePuristS really, really dislike misinformation (including our own, in the rare instances it is unintentionally disseminated by us) and properly attributing this information in the future will both hold us accountable and allow us to clarify in case there are any misunderstandings.

There has been too much misinformation distributed already on the internet, with no one ultimately being held accountable, much like most "urban myths"

Or as someone else so eloquently stated in the recent past, "Never in the history of human kind has so much misinformation been so widely distributed to so many people so quickly."

Thanks for posting this highly sought-after info. How about the calibers P827 and P 837, both of which are sister-calibers to the 817? These creatures must be EXTREMELY rare, I guess. Best regards, Anders
