    Picked 'er up today from Shootin Iron shop down in Martinsville! Took it across the street and put around a hundred rounds through it. What a sweet shooter, this is my first revolver that isn't a cannon. (I.E. Non-454 casull)

    Put some ahrends on it, as well as a lower front sight to cure some issues.

    The thing finally fits my hand right.

    When I have some extra change laying around I'll probably have it cerakoated black and throw a hogue cylinder release on it.

    Here is a good photo of the cylinder chamfering that makes reloads easy. I've actually reloaded this gun faster than some 1911 shooters when competing at bowling pins :D

    I got this NAA mini-revolver in .22 mag over the weekend. I haven't taken it to the range yet, but it's definitely a quality little piece.

    Reposting a gun to share a small photo tip

    With the flash straight on it looks like this

    IMG_0821.jpg



    But if you can find a way to reflect the flash upwards and bounce it of the ceiling you get
    IMG_0814.jpg



    You don't even need an external flash or rotating flash head either. If something reflective held under the flash angling upwards will do the trick.

    Forgot I hadn't posted my ruger 454 yet.

    I wonder what the target grey finish actually is? It's one of the smoothest and most durable finishes I've had experience with.


    After using my fingers and a few pieces of cratex, I got the trigger on it to be the best of any revolver trigger I've handled. So unbelieveably smooth and consistent.

    You must be RICH! Every time you pull that trigger you're sending a buck and a quarter down the barrel. :):

    In all seriousness, I like that Ruger a lot!
