For my wheel gun friends...

[Biggfoot44]

The model that became model 17 in 1957 would be a great choice.

There's an even better one , but I ain't telling , because I don't want y'all competing with me .

You're right. The Colt Officers Model Special 4th Issue (22lr at top, 38 at bottom) is maybe the best. Both date to 1950. I showed you mine, now show me yours. LOL.

I think all my pics are on the dead computer, but I really like the Ruger SP101 in .22. It's the same frame as the .357, which is great to train with. It's their smaller frame, but is able to accommodate bigger hands as well.

For Plinking I would second the Ruger SP101 in .22, nice looking gun (even if the wife put these purple inserts in it...) and shoots nicely all day long. It's really the wifes wheel gun. The Taurus in the pic is the .45/410 I beat up on backpacking/canoe/bikepacking trips that I don't cry over from being abused.

That is pretty sweet.

What range is that?

It's mostly all I shoot steel with these days:

We have a minty S&W 13-2 at Masada for $550. I can't believe it hasn't sold yet.

It's Delta Peach Bottom Fish and game: https://www.dpfng.com/
173 Pikes Peak Road
Delta Pa 17314

We do an outlaw steel challenge match there just about every month:

Fun Steel match at Delta PA Every Month

Why do I always wait until the last minute to post about these? :rolleye12 Slow is smooth, and something-something last minute. It's an "outlaw" steel challenge event, meaning we don't strictly adhere to the official steel challenge stage designs. We don't quite have the room to do that, plus...

The next one is 10/23

Hmmmmm

Where's that prep video you posted previously on what equipment to get?

This one?

I wonder if the wife would give it a try with her SR22

As long as she has enough mags, it should be great. Five is preferable. If she's got 2 or 3, and you can be Johnny-on-the-spot reloading while she's shooting, we can make it work.

From the "coulda shoulda" file....Colt Diamondback.

300 bucks was a whole lot of money to me in the late 70's. Should have done it. I regret that one. Gotta part with a kidney for that revolver today.

I bought one a few years ago. It’s very upsetting to me that it’s unfired, and I can’t shoot it.

Remind me to hate you!

That's an Absolute Beauty!

I need a wayback machine, complete with yesterday's prices and a stack of today's money.

Lol. I hate me too. I want to shoot it so bad.

I can absolutely believe that!

(Don't do it!)

One BEAUTIFUL revolver! Congrats!

Great! I'll post the practiscore link in the other thread when registration opens (it's either 1 or 2 weeks before). I may be a little biased, but other regulars to the match tend to agree that this is one of the best events to get new (or new to competition) shooters started. If it helps with moral support, there are usually a handful of lady shooters there.

Might be a bit of a hike from Howard County . I don't know exactly where he comes from, but Stoveman drives a fair bit to join us sometimes.

Your better half shoot every match?
