Results Of 100 yd Test Today

Went down to the range to sight in my 32 caliber pistol for the 100 yard pistol
match at the Nationals at Friendship next month. My first shot I held at the top
of the paper and that's where I hit. Next 4 shots I held at the black best I could.
This is good enough for me. I used the same load I always use 15 grains ..
I was amazed how well the little 32 shot.

Some friends and i used to have informal contests with handguns at 100 yds.
Ours had a little more ooph, though.
Your shots with the pea shooter is most impressive.

How much does that pistol weigh? It looks rather heavy.

It is the lightest pistol I know of. Weight around 1 1/2 lbs. That's why I can still hold it. A Ruger Old Army or my Pietta 58 Remington is way too heavy for me
anymore. Being light I only shoot 15 grains powder. Anymore and it jumps around in my hand too much. I used to shoot it pretty good at 25 yards.

Cool

Kwhi43: You have the coolest guns, no doubt. AND...you shoot them well.
Good luck at the match.

No. I don't think I'm going to shoot the 600 agg. Not physical able. Think I will just shoot the 100 yd and the "As Issue" revolver agg. and replica revolver.
Went to the eye doctor last week and I have a cataract in my right eye. Not
going to get it removed until July. So this shoot I am just going to shoot from the hip so to speak
