My New Rig

[Glenn R. McMannly]

I decided to splurge and get a new carry rig for my Rock Island M200 revolver:



Only the very finest. An Allen nylon holster and a generic no name nylon speedloader pouch.

I once heard it's not unreasonable to spend 25% of the value of a gun on a holster and ammo pouch.

Well, when your revolver only costs $207 brand new, this is about equal that. I paid $11 for the holster and $5 for the speedloader pouch, both from Amazon.

Seriously though, they do the job! And this little wheelgun continues to impress despite the budget price tag.

The entire rig, plus speedloaders and ammo, cost less than $250 and it's all brand new. Not bad for a budget woods beater.

nice! A Bulldog from WallyWorld for mine, $12.95 if I remember.

Glenn, Colt grips for today's models don't fit it, even though it is a "Colt" design frame. Older Colt grips do fit. They changed the frame slightly with newer models. I put some new-old-stock Pachmayr on mine. Found them on eBay. Much more comfortable. The RIA grips are plastic and not comfortable after a few cylinders of 158gr SWC.

How close are Point of Aim, and Point of Impact?

158 SWC shoot right at the top of the sight from 10-20 yards. Past that, it is center hold. 146 HBWC shoot nearly the same. It's not a target gun, 1 1/2" - 2 1/2" groups off a rest. Offhand, not as good, but that's me.
