Sisco Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Tried that two years ago at a sport show. They put up a garbage can with a sensor and a green light. Green light goes off you draw and shoot. Surprised myself and the guys running the booth when I did a .7 seconds on my 3 rd shot. Did another .9sec but couldn’t get back down to it. I could have stayed there all day or until I ran out of money. It was a hoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted March 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) It looks like a lot of fun. Maybe I’ll be geared up enough to include it at the fall shoot. I’d be damn happy anywhere under a second at first try. Not gonna be me. I’m too slow. Edited March 23, 2020 by DNP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

392heminut Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) You know Dirk, to do fast draw properly you have to replace the barrel on that gun with an aluminum barrel and heat and bend the hammer spur almost straight up!😁 Back in the 80's I was friends with a guy named Bob Dudley who lived her in Deming. He had a world record of some sort in fast draw. Looking at him you would have never suspected he was into fast draw, he looked like an old, bald headed school teacher or librarian! Never saw him wear any sort of western type clothing or hats! He could draw and fan 5 shots that sounded like one shot!😲 Edited March 28, 2020 by 392heminut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted March 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Current regulations don’t allow for those sort of Upgrades. I do t plan to get competitive, but I damn sure will practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted March 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Had a buddy order up some ammo. Told him get whatever he could. Got a great price on it and I’m set if I decide to play cowboy when the zombies come. Got 200 rounds of this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Dirk that Sig Ammo is hot sh!t, well it is in 357sig for sure 1356fps @ 510ft/lbs 125gr projectiles ! SD ammo for sure. Enjoy 😋🤯🤬🙀😤🤤 This is the stuff that blew the case apart during a test fire at Lance's shop round 3. Then again at the Fall shoot...Danger, Danger, Will Smith !!!!

Can't get photo to load keep's timing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 That’s some good news. 850 didn’t sound like a lot, but I have been doing some reading as I’m not too familiar with the SA revolvers and clones. I’ve run into a few discussions about being careful what you shoot from some of them. Thanks for the thoughts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) 850 in a 45 case should be ok. About the same as 45acp. They make the Vaquero in 44 mag too don’t they? If so, it’s a strong action. Edited March 31, 2020 by Sisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Reading up says the New Vaquero can handle loads in the 14-23k psi range. The original Vaquero was a larger frame and can handle 30k psi. Those are recommendations, but I’ll have to watch. Most of what I shoot out of that pistol will be pretty tame I’m sure. These hollow points are probably not going to be fired all that often. May run a box through just to see how they go....and that leaves me 180 more of them to sit on a shelf.

DNP Posted April 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Finally got my box of snake destroyers. One of the drives behind this purchase was to have another easy to use snake dispatcher at home. Something the wife can easily carry around the yard with her when she’s out working. Granted, with the baby on the way soon, there won’t be much of that for a while. She seems to be the one finding rattlers though. I’ve had snake shot for the 22, but that requires getting pretty close (closer than she would like) and the 45 should give her a little more distance and the need for only one shot to take out the problem. 22 seems to take a couple unless you’re right on top of it.

Armed Eye Doc Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 A Taurus Judge or S&W Governor is also a good snake gun. It can shoot the 45LC as well as 410. I got the S&W for Susan as a home protection gun when her mom was still living with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted April 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Can’t get the judge here I don’t believe. I had thought about those. This one kills two birds so to speak. I wanted it, and it kills snakes. I looked at a few options. Was going to cut down my Single Shot 20ga H&R as well...make a little scabbard and hang it on the rhino.

DNP Posted April 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Had to go look up why. California considers it a short barreled shotgun because the judge will fire fixed shotgun ammunition. Dipshiites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted October 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 That birdshot works great. Took a squirrel from about 15yds. Awaiting my call back from Joe Perkins. I’m only 7 months in on a 10-11 month wait for the call. Which is good, because I still can’t decide which wood I want for the grips. Liking the spalted maple, or the madrone burl....decisions decisions. Going to get it case hardened and have a little action work done as well. I have a local guy who is going to help me make the holster for it, but I kinda put that on hold as this Covid deal has folks a little nervous and he’s probably in his upper 70’s. I wouldn’t want to chance anything with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One week from today, I'm 4 months in on my (first estimate) 1~3 month wait on my LaRue upper. After one month, I was told 2~4 months. So, a week from today is 4 months... Whaddaya do...
