[wrenchman]

That man is great I wish I could shoot like that his daughter and wife compete and are real good
A couple of makers are Taurus they have a warranty thats great charter arms I don't know if you can get them there are other makerr of revolvers cow boy shooters have many makers.

I want a Colt Python after watching The Walking Dead

Great gun, I got mine many many years ago. But since they're out of production you better have deep pockets.

[Lorgar]

Revolver, 12 shots, one reload sub 3 seconds. Only one man can do that jerry!

He's making that speed loader live up to it's name.

[Wylie27]

Scary thing is, his wife is a world champion and so is his daughter.

I guess when you live on shooting lane you need to live up to his name.

Here is Max Michel shooting 18 shots, 2 reloads 3 targets 4.79 seconds. Ohh and 16 of the 18 are alphas and the other two is just outside

I know I will never even be half as good as these guys but man they get your heart pumping and makes me want to try!

[bluerob]

Me. I love them.

I have a few. I'm a fanboy of Colt Pythons (no, not because of that show, but, I should watch it).

Once you get into reloading, its a great way to shoot alot without having major spends on ammo. Shooting 2000 rounds a week is easy if you're super keen.

Try that with a bolt action centrefire rifle and see how much it costs.

And how long your barrel lasts!

That's a bit personal

[aaronjo]

Lol!

Now thats what you call a bull barrel....

[Eduardo]

Here's nearly my whole collection.




I just added this though


Need more wheel guns. A S&W 686 Pro Series will be next.

[huccl]

That doesn't bother me much. Imagine the fortune these guys spent on ammo practicing

[aaronjo]

I'm guessing he's sponsored now but in the early days practicing to get 6 shots on target under 1 sec, yikes!

[Heckler303]

Hey everyone, would the Smith and wesson 986 be a good 9mm revolver to get? I want to experiment with different loads when I apply for a cat H license, so 9mm is a good choice and cheap to handload, but will the gun hold up? I know S&W makes good stuff all around, just want to know if anyones fired/held/field tested/bought one. Thanks

[wrenchman]

heckler i dont think you could go wrong with it

[aaronjo]

But it's a revolver, you gotta go 357mag buddy!

Just me...

Anyone have any opinions on sign sauer mossquito in .22lr. Due to licensing etc I wouldn't be able to get one straight away, but this thread has gotten me thinking I might have to join a club sooner rather than later and this looked a decent place to start (as in cheap, I don't want to dive straight into the deep end)

I was looking at these. If you Google them they get a pretty bad rap from a few people. Turned me off them

I believe the S&W M&P 22 would be the better choice. I ended up getting the Beretta but the Sig was considered.

Doesn't help much but they work well suppressed. Unsuppressed, they are hit or miss. Considering the nonsense you guys have to go through to get a handgun I would suggest looking elsewhere. It's a shame because they look cool (and do work suppressed).

I second the S&W M&P .22. I have the new-ish compact version and if you use the right ammo it's 100% reliable. I have not shot any other semi-auto .22 with this level of reliability.

[Harts]

Reliable as in not jamming?

[MR. WINCHESTER]

Too expensive ....

Will stick with shotgunning / Sporting Clays.

12G ammo is cheaper than 22LR?!?

Licensing fees and ongoing costs are higher for pistols. For clays you only need a Cat A license as opposed to expensive club membership as well as licence

[MR. WINCHESTER]

Thankyou Baldrick ...

What's the difference between a blond and a mosquito? Haha, I won't, you'll have to look it up

Actually knew that one....and I'll raise you a "what's the difference between sand and menstrual blood?"

[brett1868]

Winning load found for the Trubor and 500 rounds prepped for tomorrow night, hopefully that's enough Might have to take a rifle for some recoil therapy as my shoulder is tightening up a bit Picked up an adjustable rear sight for the Glock this arvo from my good mate at MidwayAus so I'm off to the man cave to fit it and load up a couple hundred .416 Barrett.

Which sight did you go for the Glock? Mine has an adjustable but I have a hard time tuning out that white outline so wanna swap for a plain black one

[Eduardo]

Reliable as in not jamming?

Yep, I shoot my friends Ruger SR22, my Dad's High Standard Victor, his Colt Woodsman Target Match and his S&W Model 41.
None of them cycle as reliably as my M&P 22. If I stick to certain brands of 22 it simply does not jam. Ironically the box of Winchester ammo that I got with it as part of a promotion is the only brand I have seen issue with, and it's bad. About a 10% failure rate. But I can go through 500 trouble free rounds of CCI without a hitch.

[sandgroperbill]

I was looking at the sr22, but it seems it won't neet minimum barrel length requirements for WA.
