Make that a .45LC/.410 and that would make a cool mini shotgun.

I think it is all the rage among the gangs in the area known as "the Hood" here.

Last Friday I decided to shoot some with my CO2 version of the Colt SAA in blued finish. Beautiful gun with a gorgeous trigger. Only complainable thing is the hammer that doesn't meet up with the frame in its resting position. By God, did they botch that! If they ever release a new version where that is corrected I'll buy it in a heartbeat! Don't know why either; every other CO2 revolver I've seen has the hammer meeting up with the frame. Bob = uncle.


Had a paper target and a metal one that I normally use with my .22LR levergun, much fun to hit the metal target and hear the *PING*. And yet again I discovered that shooting pistols is a whole nother ballgame than shooting with rifles. But I did shoot one-handed and I did hit the targets. Occasionally

If you hit the targets, then you did much better than me. I couldn't; even rolling my hand to the side to steady it better. Lucky for my dogs at the time, they were in the front yard and not in the back yard with me trying to target shoot, lol.

It really is hard not to twist the gun when squeezing the trigger, that's something I have to work on. Obviously, shooting with two hands was easier. And for a CO2 pistol it shoots kinda hard. Noticed that from the sound of the cardboard that held the paper targets, as well as the metal target that swung a bit when I hit it. You certainly don't want to get hit by this gun.

It's also CO2 efficient: got about 90 rounds from one cartridge!

Took my new SCCY 9mm to the range today and so far (other then needing the rear sight adjusted) it shot great.

What Khajiit imagines a trip with Reaps to the gun range would be like.

Not going to lie, I actually did that one time. It was lopsided but you could tell what it was lol.

GUN PURCHASE!

Yesterday I placed an order on a second .44 Remington New Model Army, made in October 1864. This one was more expensive than my first but also of much higher quality with perfect mechanical workings. I expect it to arrive on Tuesday. Now I only need to order a double holster

The brown you see in this pic is most likely the browning they did before blueing the gun and not rust. If I'm not mistaken it's sort of a primer.

Yeah it doesn’t look like rust to Khajiit. Rust would be either redder or a darker brown.

Very cool! Now you can be The Outlaw Mirocu Wales!

Bounty hunter #1: You're wanted, Wales.

Josey Wales: Reckon I'm right popular. You a bounty hunter?

Bounty hunter #1: A man's got to do something for a living these days.

Josey Wales: Dyin' ain't much of a living, boy.

Seller thought it was the primer too. Or he was just trying to calm me down

No, I meant use the sideways grip when shooting so your body absorbs the kick instead of your arm and hand jerking back while absorbing it. You have to practice to get the accuracy with the sideways grip because you can't "sight" it; but it gets you used to the kickback of a pistol a lot easier and less dangerous than having your hand twist when the gun kicks back on you.

Here is a vid that shows what I'm talking about:

Pretty!

Nice!!!

This gun well exceeded my expectations. When the seller wrote "perfect mechanical workings" he wasn't kidding. When I c.o.c.k* the hammer, it feels brand new! Brand spanking new, I tells ye!

The holes in the cylinder has razor sharp edges and the gun doesn't have the greyish iron color to it either like my other one. Rather it's blackish. I'm beginning to wonder if he didn't sell me a repro as a vintage!



* - Stupid censor system. I had to circumvent it here since it's used in context. Please don't ban me

Well, I hope you didn't pay vintage price for a repro; but either way it sounds like you are happy with the gun itself!

I was merely joking. He can't sell me a repro as they require a license, so I know it's an original gun. He confirmed that the blackness on the gun is the blueing which I knew already. My other gun doesn't have any blueing left so it's a clear difference.

But I kinda wish it was a repro. That way I could shoot all I want and not care if I ruin it

Sighted in the scope on my .30-06 today. Used a laser to rough it in but that thing was no good, still had to make big adjustments on the range. I'm pretty much were I want it now for the distance I normally shoot at. I will shoot a few more rounds later come fall as I don't want to disturb neighbours more atm.

Yesterday I got my newly acquired 12 bore blackpowder shotgun, the one I showed recently. A nice piece, besides the makeshift mending, and the hammers lock up firmly. I really like this one; it's the shotgun I always wanted from when I was an egg

I also zeroed in the scope on my .30-06 so now it hits perfectly for the distance I usually hunt at. Used nine rounds in total.

I know I said I zeroed in my gun but man, I still had adjustments to make.


Day off today so I decided to put my rifle in a jig I made so I could really drive it home. First shot revealed I was off high and to the left. Might as well have been shooting one of my blackpowder revolvers. Managed to get it lowered, then righted and I was home. Three rounds in the center of the target and all touching each other by half. Can't do much better than that!

How do you change that? I remember having a little 22 revolver that used to throw way high and right; I never knew you could fix something like that! (don't have it anymore).

Well Congrats for getting it fixed, that is awesome!

Scope has two nobs you can turn in order to line it up with where the bullet hits. Quite simple. It's a little trickier wiht iron sights if you don't know how to adjust them, but not hard to learn.

Shooting result

The numbers show in what order I fired. I know the 4 looks like only two rounds but I did fire thrice.

And this is my newly decked out rifle
Close-up

The cartridge holder is brand new and I absolutely love it!

I thought the sight was built on; didn't know it could be moved or adjusted!!! Awesome!!!
















Very pretty cartridge holder! Those bullets look wicked as hell! Nice shooting, Mirocu!

Thanks, squirrel!


Yeah, that cartridge holder is great! I also got another holster for my newest revolver, this time a crossdraw. Another colour but equally good quality!

Nice! Does it take an extra second to reach across?

Not really I'd say. If anything it's much easier to draw it like a sword due to the long barrel so it may even be faster. Didn't plan to be a gunslinger though

Oh, dear...


What did I just do...?

??? Did you order another gun?

BWAAHAA!!!!

And here it is!

Yes, it's another pepperbox but with a longer barrel. Thought about selling the first one I got but I was quite intrigued by the idea of having twelve rounds, six in each hand, for those spray-and-pray moments

Oh yeah; that pretty baby just needs its twin in your off hand!!!

.44 Magnum coming soon!!!

Oh. I tried to click on that thinking it was a link

Lol I was wondering when someone was going to do that . I can't wait to get it, it had a really nice grip, the right amount of weight and its my favorite caliber.

Same here, lol.

The gun itself looks like this in the link----> .44 Mag.
As you can see it looks so frumping awesome!!!

Looks just like I thought


Wouldn't mind me having one too

It'll either be a .44 Magnum, A Judge or possibly a rifle. I'll post a picture when I get it .

Let the jelly flow!!!

That's the weirdest looking .44 magnum revolver I have ever seen


But other than that, it looks great! Proper jelly!

I couldn't afford a .44 Magnum. I could have bought a Judge but decided to get the AR-15 instead, it was actually cheaper then the .44 Mag or Judge.

I'm not big on revolvers = prefer a semi-automatic with a 15 shot clip (plus an extra clip that I can just slam in the second clip in an emergency if I run out of hollowpoints in that first clip,

BWAAAHAAA !!!!!!

*hrrm*


... *cough*..... yes.. clip..


Or you know... magazine... ...

Well, if you want to be proper then...

Really, my misuse of terms is no where near as bad as my aim though,
