Dranoel Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 A few years ago I saw a video on youtube of one of the older revolver greats shooting a sort of challenge match against a more modern great shooting a 1911. The revolver shooter was firing from the hip while the 1911 shooter used a modified Weaver. It was actually a pretty close match, drawing and firing on targets at about 25 feet if I remember correctly. I really want to watch the video again and study some things. Problem is I can't remember who the shooters were and I have searched for hours using different names but can't find the video again. Anyone know or have seen the video? Can you help me with a link or the shooter's names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dranoel Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 Wasn't Jerry. Wasn't Mundon. Searched for Bill Jordan, no joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dranoel Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 The video appeared to be from the mid 80s and there were spectators. I've searched pistol vs revolver and every name I could think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 As far as I can recall (subject to revision/correction) Jack Weaver was still doing his thing with wheelguns then, so maybe it was him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a search for challenge match, and although I did not find any video of what you seek, I did find links to a Texas Challenge Match from 1989, with WSB's and stage descriptions. https://blog.krtraining.com/1989-texas-challenge-uspsa-match/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dranoel Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) The video I saw was a heads up math between just the two shooters with half a dozen or so stages. There's a part of me that swears Mickey Fowler was the pistol shooter and and Ed McGivern was shooting the revolver. But I can't find any evidence they had such a match. I really want to study the revolver shooter. He was dead on accurate with the barrel just inches above the holster. Obviously a VERY practiced index and absolutely amazing how he was as fast and accurate shooting that way with a DA revolver.
