I like both but shoot a 1911 much better.

Here's an unrelated ammo test pic of the Kit Gun just because....
The S&W 650 is one of my favorite fishing guns,shot shells for snakes,and hollow points for rabid animals,and I modded some mag shell cases to shot CB longs in it also. :salute:

 :cheers: Cool!!  Great versatility all in one cylinder and boy, aren't those 22Mag shotshells big medicine on snakes!  :tu:

Went out today for a fun shoot. I am really liking the revolver. I do need a holster for it however, and still the local gun shop is having a hard time getting me one. I know that most American businesses could care less about selling to Canada...not enough population, probably have to jump through flaming hoops, etc...but it sure does make my life difficult. I do have an old PPC holster that came with the revolver, but the trigger is not covered. I was allowed to use it today but I wouldn't be able to in an official IPSC match. Either I find something soon, or I am forced to modify this one that I have...and I would hate doing that.

On the positive side, I think I am turning into a revolver guy. Speed loading the chamber wasn't difficult at all, and almost as quick as slapping a magazine into a semi auto. For my first outing with it, I am hooked.

Is it against the law for me to buy one and send it to you?

I know how Canada is just one revolver holster from invading the US and all that.

I couldn't see how a holster would be illegal to send to Canada, but stranger things have happened.  :think:

Thanks for the offer, and I may just take you up on that. Going to give the local shop their time however.

K.

I also would like to add if your revolver reload is almost as fast as your semi reload you are reloading your semi wrong.

Well either that or you are much better at this stuff then I am. Which is entirely possible.

That's how I am also.

Often lose because I place to much emphasis on hitting and not enough on speed.

Something about shooting sports make it so that I do not care so much about where I place as much as improving my skills and just having fun.

I hear you. My club consist of a lot of older guys who have been doing this for decades. Very few younger guys like me. I harbour no illusions about beating them...but I do try to improve every time I go out. I was last, but I was also the only guy with a revolver. They are slower to load and hold less rounds...so no surprise I was the tail end charlie.  :D

On the other hand, a lot of the older guys are thinking about those revolvers they used to shoot back in the day and still have in their safe somewhere. Maybe my shooting something different might even the playing field somewhat by seeing more revolvers show up on the scene. If nothing else, it was a great conversation starter.  :tu:

Many years ago (still in school) I went to a shooting range with a friend and his parents.

Had fun shooting several firearms, but the one thing I'll never forget was an older guy with his revolver.
They were shooting a 9 targets and had one of those little counter machine thingies........he had to reload, and he was barely slower than the guys shooting autos.  8)
What really got me was everything about the old man was saggy - eyes, clothes, shoulders, belly....you name it!  :rofl:

You would be forgiven for underestimating him all day everyday, but if that revolver comes out running wouldn't help!  :salute:

I never go to the range without my IFAK.  On group days we bring a full trauma kit in the big tackle box just as you find on fire rescue trucks.  The range has a first aid kit mounted on the wall, but you know you can never trust a public access kit to be fully restocked and current when you need it.  A good kit and the knowledge to use it is important but you should have a kit not only for you to use on someone else, but for someone else to use on you if needed.

There was a really good thread on range safety and first aid kits, on gunboards forums, in their survival and preparedness sub-forum, which you can read without being a member.

Brought a few friends to the range for their first time with handguns. I brought along the Cimmeron 22LR Single Action Army, a S&W 586 in 357 Magnum, a S&W M&P 9mm, and a Norinco 1911A1 in 45 ACP. It was a cold and blistery day completely removed from yesterday where it was beautiful with a high of 4 degrees Celsius. They still had fun however, and that is the main thing.

Fractured my scapula today. What a pain in the butt for the next 6 to 8 weeks. I can already tell this is going to be worse than the time I broke my wrist when I was a teenager. Aargh!

Bill Carver was a member of "The Wild Bunch" gang of outlaws. Once when the gang was on the way to rob a bank Carver shot at a skunk and missed. The skunk didn't. Carver smelled so bad that when the gang was robbing the bank the tellers were holding their noses rather than their arms up. Carver was so embarrassed he was apologizing for the odor.
