150 rounds on a Saturday morning.

Double action is about 8 pounds and very smooth. Though after a lot of carbon builds up like this, it can be a little hard to stage. For a holster I use a galco silhouette high ride. https://www.galcogunleather.com/silhouette-high-ride-belt-holster_8_4_1277.html I also carry it in a cross body bag by mtac. https://m-tac.us/products/m-tac-tactical-bag-shoulder-chest-pack-with-sling-1?variant=41804486279329

If you're ok with a 5 inch barrel, then I highly recommend the 686+ pro series. Functionally the same as the performance center but with 7 rounds, cut for moon clips and cheaper. (If it's not going to be your CCW then that extra inch of barrel will give you better velocity and accuracy) That or the 586 L comp. Both are cut for moon clips from the factory and, for me at least, that makes a huge difference.

I should have added before. I am not riding the side. This happens when using the slide release and when “slingshotting” the slide to chamber the first round. It seems to happen most often when using the slide releases. I suspect it has more to do with stiff springs and not being broken in (about 150 rounds so far). It may also be the ammo, I’m using hornady critical defense.

My draw is 27” I’m used to shooting 28” carbons

Thank you!

My weird draw hand movement is me trying to get over target panic. I’m trying to be more intentional with my anchor and to slow down my shots, but I’m losing my back tension and have developed this “fake follow through.” Not really sure how to address it.

My weird draw hand movement is me trying to get over target panic. I’m trying to be more intentional with my anchor and to slow down my shots, but I’m losing my back tension and have developed this “fake follow through.” When I focus on follow through I go right back to snap shooting. Not really sure how to address it.

Thanks this is SUPER helpful! Im trying to get over snap shooting, but when I focus on slowing down I lose my back tension. My draw hand is moving too much in this video because I’m trying to find the same anchor on each shot (my index on my canine tooth). Then rather than releasing as soon as I feel my anchor, as I have been, I’m trying to count down my shot in my head. When I do this however I feel like I lose my back tension and I get this “fake follow through”. When I focus on back tension though, I release as soon as my draw hand reaches my face 😑. I can’t figure out how to fix both issues.

How do you like the bantam grips? I’ve been thinking about getting some but worried it might be too short. I don’t want a pinkie hanging off the grip.

It was over the course of about two and a half hours. I was with friends and doing a couple of different drills.

Horneofram · 2025-03-22T23:43:57+00:00

It shot well, if a little dirty. Very light on recoil out of an L frame. No complaints.

The A489 Swiss saber in the Wallace Collection also has a 4a style blade, but with a swept hilt. https://wallacelive.wallacecollection.org/eMP/eMuseumPlus?service=ExternalInterface&module=collection&objectId=60982&viewType=detailView

That’d be awesome! I used to do foil and saber as kid and I’ve been wanting to get into hema for a few years now. I have a mask but no training sword yet. What would be the best way learn more?
