Howdy Again

I took both New Model Number Threes to a Cowboy match today. A couple of guys commented on my Schofields. Most CAS shooters only know about Schofields, they don't know about the other #3 models.

I forgot a couple of times, you have to keep your finger off the trigger when cocking them. Unlike a Colt, since the bolt is actuated by the trigger and not the hammer, if you restrict the trigger's motion you cannot cock the gun. The nickel plated one had to remind me a couple of times.

The guns performed like champs. I don't try to shoot fast, I just try to hit all the targets. Scored a clean match (hit all the targets). Just a small match, only six stages.

Thought I would take a photo of how they looked after each one fired 30 Black Powder rounds.






I think I will fill out the form to get the new one lettered this week. Then maybe we can get to the bottom of just what it is.
