Cimarron 1871 Richards revolver Oct 15th

[RanchRoper]

At the range shooting some plastic jugs with my Henry and put my last 5 rounds on an 8" splash target at 15 yards with my Cimarron 1871 revolver. One hand, standing. Their ok, the kick still takes a little to get used to. 45 Colt pistol speaks with authority.
Had fun as always.

Thanks, RR. Good shooting.

Glad you got to shoot that beautiful revolver again. Looks like you have the grip figured out.

Nice POIs on that splash!
Got a Q for your style of shooting. What's your thinking/purpose behind shooting one-handed?
Always inquisitive.....

I looked at your targets and it looks like gun is rolling in your hand and by putting your little finger under the bottom of your grip will stop the up and down stringing . When I target shoot a SA gun I also put my thumb behind the cylinder stop plate to control the roll too or your pulling the gun down off the target to look at before bullet is out of barrel .... I hope this makes sense .....



This is the 1st and only target I shot with this gun .

TGR: thank you for the observations. I will make sure I do it. I'll take all the help I can get! Much appreciated! 25 yds is impressive. That's my goal to work up to.

I tried to get my wife to go to the range and hold target up over her head . That didn't work

I don't always agree with TGR but whenever I do as he says my groups shrink. I'm going to try this next time.

The grip TGR showed you works very well. I just have a .22 but have been using that grip the last three range trips. It takes a little getting used to but once you do it feels natural. You definitely have the shots centered. Now just a matter of getting the consistent point of aim through the trigger pull.

This guy is a super shooter , I shoot gunfighter which is at 5:43 but note his little finger is under grip in the whole video on different style of shooting . The little finger control the recoil and keep the gun from rolling in you hand . I'm not a better shoot then anyone on this forum . I just learned how to control the guns that is even true in air guns to make each shot and grip the same and repeat it every time . . This is a test target and is the 1st and only time I shot this gun on paper . I normal shoot steel .
