MILDOTS

It’s heavy but it works. But then every JP I’ve ever had always worked. Definitely worth the bang for the buck in my opinion.

I was always the guy that tried to buy his way to a better performance, it didn’t work but I sure got a lot of cool guns.

My Python was purchased in 1961 ( my dad I was 16) it was very accurate and I shot squirrels with it. In the mid my brother invited me to a PPC match, I only had my Python so l bought a 1,000 reloads and I practiced and practiced the night before when I arrived at his house he gave a smith mod 19 that had a trigger job by Bill Davis long story short I used the model 19. Different tools for different problems

Rifle is shot left handed both eyes open limited pistol is shot right handed left eye closed shooting my open gun right hand both eyes open. The only problem I had was in 3 gun transitioning from rifle to open pistol some times it took me a while to find the dot. I started competing in Bullseye and closing your dominate eye (left) was not a problem. It only became a problem when many years later I started uspsa and 3-gun there were no X rings but I was determined to find them. When I started action shooting I was slow but very accurate, now I’m slow and not accurate the story of my life.

Its a match DQ and it would be club DQ, if basic safety rules aren’t followed I wound not shoot there.

Pcc, limited, open, Cary optics, all 9mm. 929 that was a no brainer, fun gun to shoot also. I had a v comp also that Randy Lee worked his magic on but sold it because it wasn’t legal for uspsa and I don’t shoot Icor. Of course they legalized it right after.

When shooting my pcc I shoot both eyes open left handed ( left eye dominate). Iron sights I close my left eye (right handed pistol) with my open gun I shoot with both eyes open.

I prefer black front sights but my eyes prefer fiber optics, getting old has its pluses and minuses.

In the early 90’s I bought all the parts for a Caspian 38 super a fellow shooter put it together for me for $200? I made B class with that gun. It was real loose But it always worked. I had to have it acurailed then it didn’t work. Then I went to Para,STI,SV. I can truthfully say I had the best guns money could buy at that the I’m still a B.Having said that I’m not sorry I bought those guns because I like guns all types and I enjoy owning them but I think I would better off if I would have stayed with the caspian for competition.

A slide mounted red dot worked for me. I liked to shoot limited and open and that sight option helped me with sight acquisition. But then I was never that good. If I started to improve with one I would get bored and start shooting the other but I could always find my sight.and there is zero paralax with side mounted red dots.

When I started shooting my first gun was a 45 commander with a comp .Apparentley the last round of the match was a squib. After lunch I had my wife shoot at a new target, one shot two holes on a clean target. The barsto Barrel was split from the chamber to the comp, both sides. Thankfully the slide wasn’t damaged. Unfortunately my wife decided she didn’t want to start shooting with me. It was was squib in my opinion.

I started shooting when I was16 I would shoot 10 rounds after school ever day and I kept the targets to be able to see my improvement. When I got out of the Navy my brother in law and I would compete with our newly acquired Gold cups. That led to how do I stack up with every one else. So I competed in Bullseye, pistol silhouette, uspsa,3-gun, and now cowboy action. I guess I’ve always liked guns and competition.

MGM it will last a life time!

I love my Python, my dad bought it for me in 62. When my brother worked fo San Jose pd they had a fun match that I shot. I bought 1,000 rounds of .38 wad Cuttersi in preparation. The night before the match when I got to his home he gave me model 19 and told to try it of course it had a trigger Job and that’s the gun I used. I think that the Python is great for someone who isn’t going to compete but the Smiths are betr for competition. I killed a lot of squirrels and scared a lot more with that gun.
