Range not open yet!! That was my first time to that store. Kinda funny, they had decent prices on used guns and even some of the new ones, but the Ammo prices were real high (at least in 45acp and .44 mag).

 We wound up at American Classic Marksman. Nice folks, had a great time but the range was so dark it was hard to see the target. 25 yard indoor range, but the only spot lit up was about 15 yards. Oh well. Not a real big fan of indoor ranges in general, but its really all we have on my side of town.

That is one cool 6-shooter you got there.  The 10-inh BA's really tame the muzzle lift to almost negligable, at leats until you get to the hottest loads.  Thanks for the cool-pics

That's an awesome find, congrats!occasion

I'd like to get one too, but so far haven't seen any in my area. And I sure don't want to pay GB prices. Maybe EWK will crank out a few sometime soon?poke

Man thats an awesome looking pair. I can't recall seeing a 10" SS on a 15-2. Thats definately a keeper!

 

On the indoor range:... oh man did you hit it.. I have a nice indoor range just minutes away... to bad you need a spotlight to actually see anything.

Soap Box, Ballot Box, Ammo Box

in that order.

How difficult is it to hold that steady on a target?  Beautiful looking set up!

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

 It is outrageously heavy and unbalanced when trying to shoot it from the standing position. It is much more of a novelty than a range gun. When I do shoot it, it is more for the oogling and conversation starters than anything. It is best fired from the sitting position with a couple of sand bags to support the front end. It’s moderately accurate, but one again, it’s like bringing an Army tank to a pillow fight.

I have another one that is very similar with the heavy lug barrel. That one is a handful (no pun intended) to hold onto and shoot even with the sand bags. But just as cool none the less.

Honestly, I have a couple of 10” barreled 357s and they are fun, but I think I still prefer a standard 8” for all around fun. Just the opinion of old, set in his ways coot that shoots more than he hits.

Thats a beautiful 10 inch heavy barrel on your DW. That 15 inch needs a stock attachment for it. It's neat.
