It was a Model 10 Day

Post by JimT »

I dug out my old "home-made" Model 10 and spent an hour with it, flinging lead projectiles downrange. I am not a double-action guy having spent the majority of my 78 years with single action sixguns. In fact, I only own 2 double action sixguns and I rarely shoot them. But the Model 10 is so easy to use and so accurate that it makes me look good! I really do need to take it out more often.

I use that 3 grains of Bullseye load under a 158 cast bullet more than any other.

Good shooting Jim.

Those targets were "The Best of the Day." I did not take photos of the worst. :lol:

I understand! I don’t generally show all of my targets with the exception of the “first five” photos.

I've had a Victory Model and other Model 10s for decades, but one that's become an all time favorite is this RHKP I bought from an estate a couple of years ago. With a load similar to Scott's, it's just downright fun! I still have the original grips, but the stags and T Grip were looking for a home.

I have a heavy barrel model 10 like yours too. They really are fine guns but like you, I don't shoot mine often enough. Ya can't beat them for fun, economical shooting.

I had a RHKP Mod 10 it put many a squirrel and rabbit on the table.
I have a Victory model now, but I would like to find some original grips or something similar to replace the Pachmayers it came with.
