I felt the way you did when I first saw the R-8, I had to have one. So, I bought one, brand new. Before I ever shot it, I did a basic slick action job on it and put in an extended firing pin from Cylinder and Slide.
The revolver is incredible. I shot MANY a "Thursday Night Thunder" IPSC matches with it right along side of the race gun boys, you shoot what you bring. As long as its IPSC legal, have at it. I always placed in the top 10. Those guys literally HATED to be shown up aganst "A REVOLVER."
I carried it anytime I went to town on busness in a Galco dual position Phoenix and two full moon clip reloads either under a business jacket or my Domke vest. The revolver is incredibly light easy to manage full house 125 grain Federals, and is a joy to carry for an N-frame.
Its a GOOD feeling walking along knowing you have that firepower. I wish I was packing it here in Afghanistan instead of this Beretta.
