Mustang Gregg Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Pards: This may sound kind of loco, but I am looking for a pair of SA revolvers that I can use for dry-fire CAS practice on my off-time (in a place I can't have my real Rugers--due to regulations). Anyone know of a "functioning" (non-firing, non-chambering) SA six-shooter that would hold up to a LOT of dry-firing? I want to get in some Gunfighter practice while overseas. A whole year with an M-9 bottom-feeder and an M-4 carbine ain't really good practice for SASS. Mustang Gregg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Dog, SASS #20401 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 EMF and Bianchi were importing a non-firing Pietta GW II that was specifically designed and advertised for dry firing. Don't know if it is still available but it was a wee bit pricey. Maybe Buffalo Sam Pede will chime in and let us know if these can still be had.

That Masked Man Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I got some replica guns for gun spinning practice. They are made for display, but have "working" hammers, triggers, and ejector rods - the cylinder turns when you cock it but they are definitely of "toy" quality. I do use them for dry fire practice with no concerns over damage to my "real" guns. Picked them up from Dusty Johnson at Pleasant Valley Saddle Shop, about $65 each as I recall. Look for "Western Replica Guns" about 2/3rds of the way down this page: http://pvsaddleshop.com/HOLLYWOOD%20HOLSTERS.htm Hope this helps...please note that "worth a hoot" is a matter of opinion, so YMMV...I find them "good enough" for practice, for my liking anyway.

Lone Dog, SASS #20401 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Still a wonderin' if that dry fire only GWII is still available or if it has been discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Sam Peed #66990 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 The GWII dry fire was discontined by EMF a couple years back. The folks at Bainchi did buy the remaining pieces from EMF but I couldn't say if they had any of them left or not. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHL Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I found these guys in the latest issue of GOTOW. Replica pistols. Maybe you guys already mentioned them but here is a link to their pistols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good idea but unfortunately, they say: "AVOID excessive dry-firing as this may cause breakage." http://www.collectorsarmoury.com/ep5sf/replicaGunSafetyWarning.ep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 How about buying a set of cheap brass frame C&B sixshooters and having the cylinders and barrels welded solid. That would make them a non-firing gun, you can paint the barrel day-glo orange if required, and the action should hold up to lots of dryfire. Just thinking about options...
