I’ve done this a few times in the past. Open to military handguns from all eras; we’ve had Civil War Colts through Vietnam era guns. Original pieces please, not clones. Shoot two “loads” of whatever your gun takes; 6 shot (12) revolvers, 7 (14), 8 (16), or 9 (18) round single stack magazines unless your gun has a higher capacity. Points don’t count, just participation.
Winter counts as any standing temperature of 39F or less in this era of global warming. It was 35 for me today and I was shooting with gloves and just as miserable as if it were 32 for my post heart attack body.
Tell us what your gun is and any relevant history along with the target. Attached is this post is a 50-foot target for you to copy and use so we all have the same target and conditions.
Today I shot my newest hand gun, a French Unique Kriegsmodell 32 made under German occupation in 1943. German and German occupied 32s are my main collection. The Unique was an improved copy of the Spanish Ruby from WWI, which itself was a copy of the 1903 Browning. 60,000 were made before, during, and after occupation - about 20,000 during. The Unique was one of 3 French 32s in concurrent production; along with the S.A.C.M. and the M.A.B. I did shoot this at 35 feet as it was my first time - shot high obviously with Aguila ammo in 9 round mags…only the FN 10/22 also has 9 round mags.
