i used to shoot ICORE - sort of like IDPA, but with wheel guns

We have a couple guys that shoot revolver. One of them is damn fast with moon clips.

I like shooting but was never drawn much to "action" style disciplines. I got into 22 target shooting and did a few competitions and in general, I prefer bench-style shooting. Handgun shooting is usually my single-shot Contender(s) at 100 yards. I have both handgun and carbine Contender configurations in several different calibers. It's usually the case that I'm heavy into it for a few months at a time and then move on to other things for a while. At this point, I'm overdue for some range time.

I am not sure i could hit a target@ 100 yards with a 45. Not reliablely

I might be able to if I can see it more than just a fuzz.

They're is that too, but just not sure a 45 round would make it without some serious lobbing

It’s not as hard as you might think once you have the hold over. My ICORE gun is a S&W 627 8x.357 magnum. I started out single action on a silhouette target, then balloons, then double action on the silhouette then finally d/a on the balloons at 100. Not the kind of shot you take on the move if you can help it, but doable with practice.

Red dot helps quite a bit

I know about them, but i don't have any revolvers.

I do have a dot on my 1911. Would just have to sight it in for that distance.
357 has allot more muzzle velocity too. I shoot 185gr in competition, so they are about 1100ft/sec. Fast for 45

I enjoy fixing old rifles from time to time, hobby is getting pretty spendy these days. I may have to go back to swearing at(learning to play) my guitar, that's been an on again off again thing for 30 years with me(I'm, up to 5 chords LOL)

Other than that been doing a little DJ and karaoke as a side hustle since '99. I've considered that maybe I'm going to get too old to rock and roll eventually...

My Contenders are all scoped. The handgun versions are in 223 and 25 caliber 223-based wildcat. I had a scoped 44 mag that I routinely shot at 100 yards with great accuracy. I can't shoot anything without a scope these days.
