Success again with the S&W 327!!

I’ve been shooting this wheelgun in competition for the last few years. I won it in a raffle three years ago. I did an action job, installed a target rear sight blade, Bang, Inc springs and an extended firing pin and tuned it to where it’s 100% with Federal primers seated hard, but not too dependable with anything else.

This is the 2nd year in a row I’ve managed to come in 2nd Place in Iron Sight Revolver at the Nationals. Fortunately for me, the really good shooters all use optical sights.
Mere mortals have a chance in very few classes and ISR is one of them.

Congrats, Japle! It looks like you took a few of the stages, and even with irons, held your own against the guys in OSR. Well done, indeed!
