Here is my 3" LCRx in the Hidestretchers Northwest Mountain Companion with a hammer thong, strong side, and fish scale stamping.  [/quote] |

Can we get a full range report on that wheelgun? It's a fine Looking rig for sure! He needles me every chance he gets, but my buddy Jeff Quinn shot his and did a report over on Gunblast.com. His example was in the 2" or so range at 25 yards, and he might have been using a Ransom Rest, but my memory fails me on that point. While I would certainly like to prove mine shoots better, so far 2" seems to be the norm. Now, on the day I was trying to shoot, the glare was pretty bad and that white outline front doesn't help me see in those conditions. Still, I am hoping for better groups in ideal conditions. I might get out and shoot it today with some JHPs as well as cast. Just depends on how my day pans out. My example has a fine trigger action. I get a very clean surprise break. Like all light weights, and perhaps Mr Bradshaw can help me here, it is my opinion that any variation in grip magnifies the error compared to a full sized gun. This one only weighs 13 ounces. I find myself wondering if I need to hold it tighter or what to see best accuracy. Oh well, so much to do so little time.... |

Fermin.... do you actually believe one can advise 2 Dogs on how to hold? Reckon he's soaked enough road time his grip is steady as she goes. Whatever grip pressure is comfortable don't change. As Mr. 2 Dogs might note, light guns wiggle & squirm. So hold it firm enough to not let go, yet gentle enough to enjoy its play.
Met Max Prasac at Ruger's New Hampshire plant two years ago. Among hardware shown, an LCR .38 Special, through which a few thousand rounds of proof ammunition had been fired. The revolver looked hungry for more. Call it testifying, because it sure ain't torture. "Torture" is what happens to the volunteer who shot all those blue pills. A flyweight warrants flintlock follow-through coupled to a smooth, clean-breaking trigger. With the hand on a handle that facilitates a straight-back squeeze and straight-forward release.

Flint lock follow through. Got it.
The speed at which these light weight guns come back sure makes that difficult. I remember Ross Seyfried talking about how his 2.5" Smith 357 taught him so much about shooting.
Just gotta focus and find that "place" where things happen in slow motion.....

A lot of gun for the weight, and you chose your knife the same way. I've a 5" Voyager that goes most places with me.

I love my Cold Steel blades! That one is a 6" Voyager. I lost my 5" Voyager at the Lease. Broke my heart. I even e mailed Bre Thompson who tried to find me one but alas. Maybe it will turn up someday. Hard to figure you can lose a tool that big!!!

The 5" or 6" Voyagers are folding Bowies.Wish that design or style was still being made, I'd like a 4" and 6" too. I've a Pendleton lite-Hunter and a trout/bird lives in my bird vest.
