A cowboy match in Texas Hill country is just about the perfect setting for a most excellent cowboy occasion. A fantastic range and excellent stages. The Texican Rangers put on one heck of a match. It was enjoyable in every way possible. Was my first time there and certainly won't be my last. Many thanks to the Texican Rangers for hosting and all the work they put in. The club members, the range, the match, the banquet, the overall experience... 100% well done!

The guy I met was no Marine or Navy SEAL. Believe me. His arms were the size of a 7 year old girl’s.
Maybe that was his undercover for super duper extra black covert ops?

Hatman Jack's in Wichita, KS has fixed me up well over the years. Top notch little hat store in old Delano district (ya know... where Wyatt Earp first worked as a deputy patrolling Wichita's uncouth side of the River). 😀

Rest in Peace, Asa. My condolences, thoughts and prayers for your family and friends.
A very good man, a great cowboy, a wonderful historian and a friend with whom to ride the river.
You will be missed.

I can understand throwing your hat if you survive 8 seconds on a mean bull and score more points than the other cowboys at the rodeo. That's almost more about survival.
I have no interest in watching ball sports any longer.

It sounds like they had some troubles, to put it mildly. https://www.looper.com/103135/untold-truth-american-guns/
Wow.
Just wow.
Arrogance never beats the IRS. And why not double down by inviting the ATF into the mess as well?
Wow.

Been using those for a while. Quite excellent especially for the price.
When at an indoor range, I use plugs with regular ear muffs. Too many people shooting rifles 2 lanes over and the double hearing protection works much better inside.

I used to have a Naval ball cap that said Mare Island. Dad had spent some time there once upon a time while serving in the US Navy.
No idea what happened to that hat, sadly.

Widder,
Thanks!
Lots of good info there, including with Power Pistol, which is one of my favorite powders. I certainly appreciate the post.

If that blued pin fits the Ruger Super Blackhawk I'll take it.

My favorite. (I think he's still there.) 😁

I load exactly with the technique and equipment you have. I don't have a problem with leakage, a few donuts of powder do slip by once in a while but never enough to be disconcerting. As mentioned, I would suggest cleaning your equipment and putting it back together very carefully. If something continues to leak, perhaps buy new discs or even the powder hopper assembly.

You got me. I watched the trailer.
Baldwin looks like an absolute moron in a cowboy hat.

El Caminos are one of the sexiest vehicles ever made! 😀

Are you looking specifically for a 10mm, of just a mid size big bore revolver?
Looking at the 10mm simply because it has a six round capacity over the other mid frame guns. I'd probably prefer a 6 shot 44 Special but won't be finding the Smith 624 for under $1300. So, the 10mm has my interest.
I suppose a 7 round .357 wouldn't be a bad second choice but I do like the .40 cal option better.

Maybe those who find this so offensive should find a new damn country in which to live.

I have never really understood the benefit of 10mm in a revolver when 357 mag, 41 mag, and 44 mag exist and don't require moon clips.
For a carry sized revolver, think 3" or less, the GP100s from Ruger in either 10mm or .357 works well for weight and concealment. Of course, so do offerings from other manufacturers, but this thread is about one revolver in particular. While I have seen .41 magnum CCW size revolvers sell on gunbroker they are not currently in production, and what is available is quite pricey. The .44 magnum revolver tends to be too large/heavy, especially in a 6 shot size frame. So that gives us the 44 Special, which is also difficult to find and if found, again, pricey. Think Smith 624 as it is a six shot. So that leaves us with the 6 shot 10mm (40 caliber) as an option.
I absolutely agree, rimmed cartridge revolvers are perhaps more suitable for many reasons. This 10mm option is just a niche I'm exploring.

Looking for any personal experience and thoughts with the Ruger GP100 Wiley Clapp in 10mm any of y'all may have. Not interested in the 4 inch Match Champion as the intent would be for a carry piece.
6 rounds of 10 mm in a mid-sized, 3 inch revolver sounds fascinating. This gun seems to have good sights for a carry gun as well.
Yes, moon clips needed for proper ejection but that is not a deal breaker.
These are pretty difficult to come across right now so is the search worth it considering so many other choices although not in 10mm?
Thanks for any helpful insight.
