Firms like Smith & Wesson made their modern reputation with guns like the РІР‚Сљ Lemon SqueezerРІР‚Сњ, a top-break five-shooter with a grip safety. 38 caliber handguns were starting to show up on the market. Perhaps the most prolific and successful pocket pistol of the age was the top-break revolver. Despite that, carrying a small handgun in a concealed manner was a normal, but unspoken occurrence. As we leave the 20th century firmly in the dust, I want to look back to see what people were carrying at the dawn of the century we just left behind.Р”Р„t the turn of the 20th century, openly carrying a pistol was practically impossible unless of course you were a member of law enforcement and there were no permitting systems in place.

I went through 50 rounds of SIG Sauer 180 gr FMJ and 25 rounds of Sellier & Bellot 180 gr FMJ - I also have some Underwood 'bear hunting' rounds and Speer Gold Dot 200 gr rounds I'll shoot next month. (with enough shooting maybe I'd get a callous and not notice!) (the factory rubber grip panels were very nice though) The trigger has a smooth break, though I may look into replacing, I'm not a fan of the 'texture' of either SR1911's triggers - it is slightly ridged with a small hole (to adjust trigger over-travel I believe), but it kept rubbing my finger wrong. I may add some griptape to the front of the grip - in the 90+ degree heat yesterday it was getting a little slippery. (I did some rapid-fire, putting 8 rounds into a 3-inch group at about 10 feet) It's got a nice amount of kick, though I still find it more controllable than my.

Then I looked at the gun auction paperwork - '.38 caliber'. AND then found out the cartridges were too big. Exterior nickel plating is peeling, inside of the cylinder and barrel is rusted - but I cleaned it up as well as I could and didn't plan to shoot it much anyway. yes but not that big) This one I won cheap ($100), it was used and it's in.
