Proposed Monthly Match

[Niederlander]

Gentlemen,  Would anyone be interested in shooting a ten round monthly match on the B-27 target we use for Precision Pistol at the Brigade Muster?  You could just take a picture of your target and e-mail it to me for scoring.  You would, of course, have to buy your own B-27 targets.  It's another reason to shoot those old revolvers, and most of us have access to a twenty-five yard range.  Let me know your thoughts.

[Quick Fire]

I'm game.

Hi

I have a pile of B-34's, which are a smaller version of the B-27, if I can find some around here I'm in.  I'll get some centers for this anyway.

I know you can get them from Amazon or Optics Planet.  If you do an internet search you can usually get them pretty reasonably.

[Quick Fire]

Midway USA carries them

As soon as I can find a 44 special or even a 38, I'm in (still haven't managed to trade off that little-weenie-girly-32-20).  I don't think my Blackhawks and modern Smiths really fit in. 

(Anyone want a 32-20?  I'll throw in ammo and dies, maybe even a mould if I can find it.)

[Niederlander]

What kind of .32-20 is it?  If it has fixed sights, go ahead and shoot it until you get something else.

...little-weenie-girly-32-20 ? 
   

[Whiskey Double]

Main match only, or EEM

[Niederlander]

We can do both!  Just let me know which target is which.

[LongWalker]

Cimarron SAA, 7 1/2" barrel.  I just don't like shooting it.

...little-weenie-girly-32-20 ?     

Oops!  Did I say that out loud?    That ("little-weeny-girly-load") is a Missourism for a pistol round with little power or recoil (e.g. 25 auto); a gun shooting such a load is a little-weeny-girly-gun.  Maybe "gamer's gun" would be more politically correct?  It weighs ~3#, and with top-end loads has less power/recoil than a 160 gr 45 slug at 700 fps. 

[Niederlander]

Some people liked the SAA in a .32-20!  (Why, I have no idea.)  You can still shoot it until you get something else, though!

[Whiskey Double]

Great ! I happen to know where a couple newly aquired mil- spec. 1911's are. That need some rounds through them.

[Whiskey Double]

Pm on cascity? Or use another email address?

Hi
Got some ordered from Midway.  Naturally I don't have the full sheet, but I should be able to find one around here somewhere.  Heck our target stands aren't big enough for the whole B-27 anyway.

Back in the 1970's an old time county Sheriff told me the 32-20 was popular in his youth because it was the only pistol round that had any chance of penetrating the car bodies of that time.

[Niederlander]

Pretty much the same reason some people liked 1911's in .38 Super.  I was told by a friend (who has since passed) that some old time law enforcement liked the .32-20 because it shot flatter at long range than the larger calibers.

[Whiskey Double]

I emailed mine yesterday morning, hopefully you got it.

[Niederlander]

I got an e-mail, but I can't open it.  You might try resending it.

[Whiskey Double]

Dale I sent you a Main match smokeless pic. also , let you if you can open it.
