Guns of the game: Field Pistol

Post by Boomer »

I thought it would be interesting & fun to have a thread to show off our “toys”. Glamour shots would be great but “working” pics are also appreciated!

Please post pics of the guns you use for each category & include any particulars about it (caliber/load/optics etc).
To keep the pages loading quickly please limit the size to 640x480 pixels.

My favorite FP-P pistol is a S&W 27. My load is a 158gr SWC over a near max charge of Bullseye & a CCI pistol primer. Its a 40X gun, I'm just not a 40X shooter.

Here she is all dirty after a great day of shooting steel.

My newest acquisition, and it will be my PAS gun for now. Dan Wesson Hunter in .41 Magnum.

Here's another revolver or two whilst I try out the photo attaching function of this site.

Old favorite from the late 1990s/early 2000s:

29-5 6" 44Mag

And the 686 with which I wet my feet again on the first Saturday of June 2013 for the first time in ten years in an IHMSA match:

I can't help but blaming myself why I am not able to own this kind of gun. The pics of your toys are very seductive and attractive especially for me. Hope to have this soon.

Accidentally found a pretty good PAS revolver. A Jan 2012 vintage 686 with an old scope that had been pulled from the deer hunting 657. On its first outing I managed a 28 with factory ammo and a 50 yd zero. Did have to fine tune the zero a bit for windage during the match, but it more than made up for struggling with the other entries. Hope to try again in Sept after missing the August match.

I'm new to the FP game , I shot 2 entries last season with my GP-100 357 mag . This year I'm giving PAS a go so I picked up a 357 mag tender barrel and scoped it accordingly . Just waiting on some nice ( warmer ) days to see what it will do
