Well I went ahead and rented some go, no go gauges and will check for safety... However I went ahead and braved a shot with some new factory ammo..NO Problems.. Checked the brass and did not see any signs of high or low pressure.. Brass looked clean with only a minor scratch on the side, no signs of swelling, looked fine.. The gauges should be here in a couple of days and I will check before I fire another round.. Thanks for all your feed back..You know back a few years ago I used to buy used guns at gun shows and never even thought of checking head space.. I fired them at the range and never had any problems... I guess I was lucky..
