First..Congrats on getting a great old classic back in action! I admire that.
..............Although we aren't NCOWS, our local CAS guys permit me to use it so long as I SA cock it...........
must be afraid you'll out-shoot someone with a fancy self-cocker
...Fortunately my local clubs (SASS) don't give me trouble over using my DA Smith 44...which I nearly always shoot DA - I was caught single-cocking on a challenge target once
I do shoot BP Duelist (when I shoot cartridge revolvers), and that does somewhat limit the number of shooters in my category (usually me & if I'm lucky a couple of buds who were able to come out). I volunteered to have my category changed to "NCOWS" or "cheater" if there were challenges that couldn't be resolved...all in a joking mood. I don't bring that kind of stuff out for any type of match that offers a category ribbon, trophy, etc.
I love the flexibility of NCOWS policy on types of revolvers used. My only problem is too many guns to shoot..... too little time & opportunities in my driving range.
Regards,
Slim
