Dead man's gun... sort of
Remember back in the late 90s a short lived TV show "The dead man's gun" it was centered around a S&W Schofield revolver that brought good or bad
luck to whoever ended up with it each episode.
Fast forward to last October I was working out of town and stopped at a gun...
several months ago I picked up a Uberti Schofield in .45 Colt .
When I got it I had 3 boxes of shells. 1 box Winchester fmj. 250 grn , 1box factory cowboy loads 250 grn flat lead nose and 1 box factory cowboy load 200 grn lead flat nose.
No matter what I tried it always shot about 3 inch high...
To make a long story short, I was in a old John boat out on our pond back on October 31.
Boat got flipped. Among other things I had my Pietta 1860 .44 with 5inch bbl.
I have always used the eraser end of a pencil to “ seat “ the caps.
Gun was under water less than a minute. When I got on land I...
i picked up a Rossi ( Taurus ) 92 big loop model lever in .38/.357 16 inch. A few years ago. It has been super reliable with any ammo and just a pleasure to shoot. They sold really well but they just disappeared. Outside of maybe 1 or 2 at a gun show your out of luck. So what happened ? Would...
Thanks for the replies. Yep I’m just going to shoot the heck out of it.
One more question. The grips are the fake ivory and they make the grip feel very thin.
Are the wood grips thicker ? And where can I find them ?
I’ve had my M70 for about 3 years now and it’s one of my favorite guns to shoot. Get more mags while you can. At one time it was almost impossible to find them. I got 2 from J &G. Also as a side note Zastava still makes this gun but it’s not imported to the US. The surplus guns are marked made...
Just picked up a Uberti Schofield 5 inch in .45 Colt. Imported by Cimarron. Love the gun but years of shooting Rugers, Colt and Remington clones makes the grip of the Schofield seem really off.
How long did it take to used to the Schofield or did you ever. I want this to be my “keeper” 6 gun.
I have a H&R top break 3rd model . It’s a .32 short hammerless bicycle model with the 2 inch bbl. it was mounted to a piece of wood and hanging up on the wall of a old pawn shop. I got it for $25 . It’s has a very tight lock up on latch and cylinder but some one had filed down the firing pin to...
Just a note on this subject I work for the VA and I have people come in all the time wanting to change their discharge usually they have other than honorable sometimes worse there is a form to send in to department of defense to try and get it changed.it's usually something like AWOL x amount of...
Several years ago some buddies and I got into IDPA shooting we all had 1911's and eventually started to reload. We cast our own bullets from lead wheel weights in 45 caliber which worked great. Very little or no leading. So we tried it with 9 mm and the result was a lot of leading in the barrel...
a few weeks ago I picked up a nice S&W 629 3 inch. Gun came with nice rubber grips
I decided it needed the short wood boot grip from Midway and they look sweet. However the recoil is HORRENDOUS . But I knew that going into the .44 mag game. anyway grips are a perfect fit no trimming and no...
