“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.
