Wheel Gun Wednesday | Black Powder Revolvers

Thank you Buck Buchanan for sharing this beauty for #wheelgunwednesday Pietta “Shooters Model” NMA .44 revolver shot at Friendship at the fall national 1993. Scored a 99-5X at 25 yards in the “As Issued” Aggregate.

Did better in the Caplock Aggregate. Took 1st Place in the Expert Class with my Yazel .36. Agg score 290-13X/300. Shot a 93-2X at 50 yards. Beat the national champ and 43 master competitors. On “cloud 9” that year.

“Been busy with a different shooting sport and hadn’t done much with my black powder pistols in a long time. Dug them out today to dry fire them and now I’m itching to get them back out to the range some day. Wanted to share this revolver. A fantastic shooter. Helped bring me three revolver championships in a row as well as a national record. Good times. Can’t wait to visit friendship again some day.” Thank you Jason Gregoire for sharing this with us.
