I'm Done - No more - Absolutely Done! Argggg...

[CINDERS]

That stuff out of neon tubes avoid like the plague its bad as for ya. I put Pachmyer grips on my Super Redhawk and like Woodsy have gorrilla mits with a very good grip strength in each hand I just found the thing fun to shoot so here is another story.
As we were comp shooting the range had a load power factor of X amount which was stringently observed however some times a few of us well most of us snuck down on days when not in use to try things. Using Ball ammo as well as FMJ's was prohibited at all times but the Police used the range as well for their qualify sessions and to be blunt were a constant thorn for shootng up the range with ball ammo like they were so inaccurate. Anyway I snuck down this day wth the Redhawk with Hornady Factory loads and was having a fat time dusting things always pick up your plastic bottles and take them away of course. So the little devil inside of me decided to see how fast I could knock the plates down with factory so I got back to 15 yards loaded up the cyclinder with Hornady's sighted the first Rt hand plate and let drive. When all had settled I had hit the plate that was designed for lead only projies dead center with a factory FMJ but such was the force exerted on that plate it tore the welds from the reset arm and the plate was some 5 yards away on the deck.....Oooo-er a quick scamble to unload the pistol pack up and flee the scene happened, upon returning to a practice day that weekend a small crowd was down at the plates looking at the carnage I had created an easy reweld but just inconvenient at the time. There were mutterings of those Bl**dy Coppers and ball ammo going around but I stayed deathly silent and just assisted grinding the old welds out and never told a soul until now that was in 1990...............
