Shooting These Sunday

[lithgow]

At the WAAAS Collectible Pistol shoot 2 very different pistols-some 90 years separates the two guns-top in the picture is an Italian Troopers' pattern M1889 Bodeo revolver in 10.4mm, made by Glisenti in the 1890s-a solid frame gate loader with the folding trigger that's characteristic of the pattern.
The second is a Makarov PM 9mm made in 1984 by the Tula arsenal-have shot it previously and found it both accurate and reliable.
Tally Ho, Chaps!

Shot them yesterday-the Bodeo has a heavy single action and a very heavy double action! Unload/reload is very slow-overall you wouldn't want to trust your life to it if there was a viable alternative (like a small bag of rocks...).

I remember you could get the Maks here in the early 90 's for next to nothing. Should of..would of..could of.

Glad you got to shoot them.
