Shameless Womanizer 57929 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I wanna check myself out loading and shooting drop in conversion pistols before I take same to a match. Fortunately I can go when there are few folks at the range early week @ noon. What has been your experience with range personnel? Just explain ahead of time?

Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Most range personnel are just awful. They will beat you up and take your lunch money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Every range is different. Call ahead and ask........ Ask for the HMFIC- OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Loading and shooting conversion cylinders is pretty much the same as using a gun with a magazine, IMO. If you keep the muzzle pointed downrange during all manipulations, I don't see anything that would cause concern. What would they object to?

Goody, SASS #26190 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Some ranges I have been to won't allow any rapid fire, but that is hardly a concern for the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Clay Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 All depends on the range, we would have no problem with it. However we are pretty cowboy friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Clark Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Ok at our range. It is a Public range and there is not any staff on site to interfere with the public shooting. It is owned by the city and operated in conjunction with the local gun club..... The gun club helps to fund improvements on a yearly basis. A bonus is that SASS members are the President, Vice President, and Treasurer of the gun club. Captain Clark VP Picacho Gun Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramblin Gambler Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Shouldn't be any problem. Now if you were using them as cap and ball, I'd be worried enough to ask the range master. Last time i went to a public range, I got in trouble for shooting gunfighter style. I completely forgot that made people nervous. I tried to explain to them that I'm an expert at it, but no dice.

watab kid Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 the range i work at [open to the public] requires you to load at the shooting position , SAA cannot shoot so fast as to draw a rapid fire complaint if you discuss it up front with the RO , and dittos the quote below , "Loading and shooting conversion cylinders is pretty much the same as using a gun with a magazine, IMO. If you keep the muzzle pointed downrange during all manipulations, I don't see anything that would cause concern. What would they object to?"
