They're hard to beat when it comes to hitting the target.

They're hard to beat for hitting the target when you have a man behind the trigger who understands his fundamentals. In this case I think we have a winner on both counts. Very nice shooting.

Thanks, but I'm really not a marksman, yet.
Guys like this are real marksmen! EDITED: " 5 shots in :10 seconds done 2x, 25 yards, one handed,"

Nice group, but that's the oddest looking WHEELGUN I've ever seen!

It's something about Wammart ammo that makes it really special. |

It's a Weaver #307
They don't make them anymore, but there are a few still on the market. They're for the non-drilled and tapped S&W's.

You can take most any good 1911 gun and spend 2500.00 on it and it'll be a tack driver. Most that you buy in the 700.00 range like the 686 revolver won't come close to the revolver in accuracy without major work.

Here's a M41 target from when I was practicing.
Red bullseye is 1.5" I was spraying it with an inexpensive red dot and cheap ammo.

50 yards? Yikes! That is impressive!
I am still struggling back at 25 yrds!

Just bought a couple of Ruger MKII target models, and from a rest both of them at 50 yds great shooters.
Both have the VQ trigger systems, so I'm moving out the M41 to pay for both MKII's. All I need to be able to do is consistently shoot about a 5" group, standing and using two hands. They'll both do that if I'm able to hold steady.

Maybe not my best ever but at 58 years old this target is getting hung up on the wall in the gun room. I shot about 75 rounds at 25 yards and was doing pretty good tonight. I hung up a fresh target and ran it back out to 25 yards and shot this group offhand with a two hand hold I packed up and went home didn't want to spoil the moment. Felt like I was 25 again.

I always like to put the holes in the target before running it out to 25 and 50 yds.
More impressive that-a-way.

Rep1954, know exactly how you feel, a few months ago at the range I was shooting my Dan Wesson 357max at a 50yd target and acouple of guys came over and started shooting AK47 or SKS 762 rifles at the 200yd gong and missing with all shots. When they stopped to reload their mags, I took aim from my position to the gong and rang it with my last 3 rounds, packed up and left. I had a 6" barrel and open sights on it at the time, I usually use a scoped 8" barrel for any over 50yds, but felt I had to try as they weren't having any luck with their rifles.

Here is a few shots from my Taurus Raging Bull 454 at 100 yards while setting the scope.
The fourth shot was almost in the same hole as the third.

To: Capt Rick: Is the RPM gunshop/range still in business on John's Island? Used to shoot there in the 1970s when in the Navy.

RPM...I put a lot of lead into the RPM range in the early 80's, and bought a few guns there too. That was a neat shop.
