Pietta 1858 and Kirst Konverter range report...

[Dakota Widowmaker]

I'll let pictures speak louder than words.







All of these shots were with the Konverters installed and shooting at a distance of ~8 yards. (normal for CAS matches)

These are the three I am most proud of.

5.5gr of Trail Boss and 200gr RNFP bullets with Starline cases and Winchester LP primers.

My Piettas are the run of the mill 8" barreled revolvers.

It was a good day at the range...

Thanks for posting the targets. Looks like you can clean a match with those. If they're Ubertis, you may want to drift the front sight a slight bit to the left. I'll have to print mine and see how they compare.
