A Pair of Revolvers

[edgehill]

Just picked these up tonight from an Estate sale. I’ve been wanting a 357 revolver to go with my Henry rifle. Now I have two.

Ruger Blackhawk with a 9mm cylinder.

The owner kept them in great condition. Can’t wait to get these to the range.

Great find, follow-up after the range trip. http://www.cotep.org/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

LOVE that smith. I like police models/issued weapons for some reason :)

It would be nice to see the whole pistols at once. On my monitor, I can only see a small part of each pistol at a time.

In other words, it would be nice to see this:

I’m not sure how to control that. Maybe the photo is too big on imgur?

Imgur let's you resize the image. Yours are over 2000 pixels wide. You need to resize them to 1024 pixels wide. Just click on the image in Imgur and then click on "Edit" down at the bottom. Up at the right hand corner you will see the image size. Change the width to 1024, click "Apply", then click "Save."

Beautiful revolvers Andy, congratulations! Are you going to use those in November’s class? [emoji16]

BTW: I can see the whole picture correctly on my phone.

I’m not sure I’ll be fast enough with speed loaders by then.

I wouldn’t even be close to being fast enough with speed loaders, for some reason I can’t operate them damn things. [emoji23]

Congrats on the nice score!

I went this morning to function test the guns. Both worked flawlessly. The S&W 28 is a shooter. No issues with it. The group on the left center is all single action. The few at the top right are double action.

Head shots at 10 yards.

The groups were all at 10 yards. The random shots are all at 25 yards. I was able to keep all my shots but one on the body at that distance.

I also took a friend to shoot for his first time. Went through the safety rules first. Did a few trials with an empty gun, then we started with ammo on a M&P 9 FS and the Shield.

This is his first target. He got better as we shot. Also that round at the bottom between the 4s was intentional. He seems like a natural shooter.

I don’t have really good pictures of the Ruger, but I think I’ll need more practice with that. By the end, I was putting the 28 where I wanted it but was still figuring out the sites for the Ruger. Will need more practice.

Note: Dr H, I tried but I couldn’t figure out how to reduce the size of the images. The app doesn’t seem to allow you to edit the size of the photos.

that is some nice shooting! the 2 legged pig wouldn't have made it!

Range days are best

Thank you. I was just surprised that I could hit the target pretty consistently. I’m not a precision shooter, but I can put some lead on target. Just need to work more on fundamentals.

Just add an “l” before the .jpg and it should fit. You should be able to edit the post and just slip the l in before the .jpg on all the pics and it should be good.

Thanks Charlie. I edited the posts. Hopefully they display better for everyone.
