    Colt Commando (WWII version) ---Usual Multi-Photo Spread----

    First rounds out of a pretty plain .38 Special Commando. US "flaming bomb" on the frame side and "10" on the bottom of the butt.

    Random old box of 158gr LRN.

    Hadn't really intended to shoot it this time, but it was in the kit "just in case", which DID occur! Too soggy and drippy for the nice rifles, so here goes "nuttin'".:




    Some holster wear, but otherwise not too bad.




    US "flaming bomb" at upper right of frame


    It's been fired by someone before, so why not a little more?


    25 and 50 yard bullseye pistol range. No 50yd work today.


    First six rounds! Single action, standing, but I cheat- two hands-LH dominant but right eye is working better.


    Next six, not quite as good , but acceptable. Apparently shoots a little right, yes???...


    OR... maybe not!

    Two cylinders worth double action only- Did not paste the previous single action group this time.
    (no manual hammer cocking- "trigger cocking" only (Apparently the Britishicon reverse the terms.))

    First run not that great, but all but one well into the black on the second! (Stray was mixed into the "single action" group.)

    All in all, MUCH better than expected! Pulls were VERY good and the round front sight wasn't TOO glare-y. Might have to revise some opinions.
