Charles,
I shot my New Service .45 double action at the DOM Muster, one handed of course, like they were meant to be shot. (The people at Colt must have been afraid someone was going to make one of their double actions go off accidentally, and designed accordingly!) You'll like it!
Oh yes, I would like it very much!
I always looked at any gun range shooting as training-even if it is a "Match"-that's just a word. So, having always liked shooting with a "Train like you fight" mentality, well, a 100 yard double action revolver shot will usually take so much time on the trigger pull, most anybody would, in all actuality, just cock the thing.
Now, if shooting purely for a challenge and test of skill-then it seems like double action at 100 yards (one handed with a New Service!?!) is about as good of test as any-especially seeing how normal CAS and SASS targets are within spitting range-and with a single action? Now the GAF goes to 100 yards with
all of our service pistols. Am I the only one that finds this to be incredibly profound?
I consider the GAF to be
the finest shooting organization in the entire world. Now with the new rifle/pistol skirmisher course Ned Niederlander conceived and then tested at the Department of Missouri muster and Capt Mack's 100 yard pistol (double action!) shooting-I find the GAF is evolving into something even better-It's hard to find the words to describe!
I only fear that I may have to miss the Grand Muster, just as I missed the Missouri muster. A very depressing thought.
