Range Day with your early N frames

[bushmaster1313]

43 posts and not one RM or NRM. Well I must rectify that! These matched 4.5” RM’s travel up to the West Virginia cabin several times a year for light workouts...most recently with Gold Dot 38 Special 125 GR GDHP which was recently on sale for half price at Target Sports USA.

Two 4.5" RM's

Very Nice! I'd be thrilled to take her to the range!

This 3.5” Reg Mag shoots. The playing card is 5 rounds at 5 yards in under 5 seconds from the holster.

Took a couple modified pre war N Frames out as well as my NRM. Here’s how the 1917 and 44/44 OD did at 15yds.

Anyhow, the book was published in 1930, but likely contains much writing a decade or so older. It gives a great number of insights into revolver shooting back then.

Thank you for the recommendation. Mine is on the way. For anyone's information, there are plenty more, reasonably priced, at AbeBooks.com.

Most recently shot my new to me 625-5 in 45 Colt. My range bag is currently loaded for a Monday 1/2 price range visit. I'll be taking a M1917, a 2nd Model HE that was converted to 45 ACP with post WWI barrel and cylinder, and my 1955 Target that was converted to 45 Colt. I think I need to take the WWI 1911 too, it was a hoot after shooting the 625-5! My 2 37 Brazilians pout a lot, lol.

Weekly range time with my 3.5" Nonregistered Magnum ... an awesome gun ... and trying out Federal Flite-Control 00 buck in a 1940 vintage Winchester 1897.

Also getting regular range time: 4" 38-44 Prewar Heavy Duty, a pair of Wolf and Klar 4" 44 Third Models, and a variety of 4" prewar M&P 38's. The fixed sight prewar guns shoot so well, and to the sights, that really the adjustables on a Magnum are only needed to regulate a variety of ammunition.

There really is nothing like a prewar S&W.
