Lower40 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 RE: NRA Bianchi Cup Just curious as to what some of those "open" revolvers and/or semi's weigh. The scopes, mover bases, barricade wings, oversize grips must really add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 For the autos, our barricade mount with wings is about 7oz. and a Prone Pad is about 3.5 oz. To that, you would normally add a compensator and a red dot scope, plus the gun, of course. For revos, the Stick Shift is about 3 oz. and a revo wing is about 1.5 oz. To that you would add the red dot of choice and maybe or maybe not a comp. My Open revo balances just ahead of the trigger, so it isn't muzzle heavy, although it looks like it would be. I have a titanium 7 port comp on a 6" slab barrel. They aren't nearly as heavy as they look, because the add on stuff is all aluminum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower40 Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Thanks..I have been using as much aluminum as I can, but using Warne Maxima "steel rings" and an UltraDot MatchDot II and just under 4lbs (unloaded). The Warne rings which I really like weigh about 4.7 oz, about 3oz heavier than the stock UltraDot rings. My mover base is about 2oz heavier than yours (right now). Using Hogue "Big Butt" grips. My revolver balance point is at about the same as yours..right at the cylinder gap. Edited June 23, 2021 by Lower40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Any weight above, in, or below your hand isn't that noticeable. A muzzle heavy gun gets tiring because it's a lever arm that is always pulling down on you. With the balance at or near the trigger, the gun will be fairly easy to draw, aim, and transition from one target to the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griz Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) If NYS in your location is New York State, then the answer is, yep, it could be a legal problem with the wrong DA. Edited June 24, 2021 by Griz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower40 Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Revolvers aren't restricted...it's semi-auto firearms that start the conversation. https://safeact.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2021/01/pistols_banned_features.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I just weighed my Bianchi Open Revolver. It's 59 oz. That would be a little over 3-1/2 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower40 Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) I am about 3 oz heavier (62 oz)...with is my mover base. The scope and big butt grips probably contribute some. Edited June 27, 2021 by Lower40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
