Here are my two. First is my dual tone with mods. I put the Cylinder & Slide enhanced leverage transfer bar in it. Between that and giving the magazine safety a toss, the trigger really improved.

Added Novak sights and Spegel Honduran rosewood grips. Shoots like a champ! Won a little money shooting falling plates with it years ago.

Browning imported 2000 of these competition models around 1983. I gave 500 for it then... hopefully it's worth more now. I've shot this a lot in competition. IPSC, falling plates and bowling pins. Factory tuned & has the sweetest trigger I've ever felt on a BHP. Pachmayr grips from the factory... except for a different recoil spring, it's box stock. Oddly, it came with an instruction manual in Dutch.

Since I had camera in hand and the case was open, here's my 1927 Colt SAA in 44 Special. Also my S&W model 28 I carried for several years in my State Patrol days. A "working gun". SW

My BHP is only a street urchin compared with yours…. Oh, must practice, practice, practice. I would guess you are partial to BHPs since you shoot competition with them.

Best Regards,

Mark

I used to shoot them a lot. I also used my 70 series Colt Govt model for bowling pins. When I shot PPC, I had a 38 race gun by Clark & used the Model 28 shown above for the 'stock' events.

For metallic silhouettes, I had an XP-100 rebarreled to 7-08. Also shot a 10" 30-30 Contender in production class. Washed the throat out in that & scored a 6,5 TCU barrel. Incredibly accurate! Still have it.

I went through revolvers. Tried a Ruger Super Blackhawk w/ 10" barrel, but I wasn't happy with it. Bought a 10" barrel S&W Model 29 with special 4-way adjustable front sight & shot it loose with mastodon whacker loads.

My brother bought a Dan Wesson 44 & that was the real deal! Very much stronger than a Smith! But he moved away to yuppie ville never to be seen or heard of again. I took up railroading & there went weekends off. Haven't shot competition for a long time.

If you ever have a chance to shoot silhouettes, it's a great way to learn trigger control. SW

Hard to get trigger time with work load presently. I'd be happy now to get the BHP on target consistently. My 1911 doesn't have that problem….

Best Regards,

Mark
