Gaining interest in revolvers

DyeF9 · Jun 18, 2020

I'm definitely going to be at Hicksville Gun Range in Gatesville TX on July 11th. Probably get there as early as they open. I still haven't gotten a revolver, so I'll bring a couple lever actions and a bunch of ammo.

Gatesville is only a couple of inches on the map. Or, 4 1/2 hours. One of these days, maybe something will be a little closer to over here on the edge of Texas.

Sounds like you're gonna have an early morning and late night

I’ll be coming from Cut and Shoot, not exactly close for me either.
Moonpie May be farther away than you!

I was near there 2 years ago. I was in Waco and visited the Texas Ranger Museum.

I live roughly 2 hours 15 minutes from there. Worth the drive.

As of now I’m in.

1.75 hours for me (92 miles)... Hoping to get my pops out with me... bring his King Cobra among other goodies...

I still think @OIF2 and @MTA89 need to show up!

DyeF9 · Jun 18, 2020

I think that if you own a revolver and have a functioning vehicle and time off on July 11th, you should show up and let me shoot your revolver

There goes a good range...

Hicksville Range day July 11th thread started in Home Town forums.

Why has OP not posted pics of his new revolver?

Alright, thanks to @Moonpie's bad influence and awesome generosity I have purchased a revolver that I think I will greatly enjoy. Thanks for finding a good deal on one Moonpie.

It's basically brand new, only thing that I need to fix is the front sight is painted and kind of poorly, so I'd like to take that paint off, but without damaging the bluing. If anyone has tips on getting the paint off without damaging bluing, let me know please.

Beautiful!
Acetone or fingernail polish remover will get the paint off the sight.

The Laredoan 1914 looks about right.
