    The stage with the steel targets that you have to hit each before going back and shooting any that weren't knocked down was especially funny to me. Ian using a handgun that has absolutely no chance of NOT knocking down the target on a hit, and smacking the back of the slide after each shot was comedic.

    I owned one a few years ago. It was accurate, very powerful, impressive to show off and just beautiful. Every time I cleaned it I would always end up with cuts on my hands from the sharp edges. And was the most unreliable handgun I ever owned. I was able to empty one full magazine without a failure in 3 years. And the ammo was expensive and hard to find at times. But its company literature stated the gun was made for '' Hunting, Collecting and Target Shooting. '' Its really just a novelty gun. But very cool.

I have yet to try standard Winchester 22 WMR but tried some that where slightly heavier. Unfortunately that did not work. One of these days I will get it running. It would be a fun small game gun I think,

    Just watched more of the video. I think he needs to do some gas regulator adjustments, it seems that the slide may not be traveling rearward far enough to cycle properly. That's the great thing about this pistol, it's adjustable. I have a .475 Wildey Magnum that I bought new earlier this year.

      Used to be. "major power factor". Unfortunately, it mostly acted as a handicap on the majority of shooters to keep the 1911 fanboys in the matches by ignoring modern ballistics and magazine capacity of most firearms. It's fallen out of favor for a reason. Those kind of things end up being less about shooting well and more about gameness. i.e. can I do the math on how many hits is required on all targets with major, vs how many hits on minor, then deduct mag change times and buy the gun which comes out ahead this year? - And hope that the stage designers don't slightly favor the category of gun I didn't buy. It becomes pay to win, but with a couple steps in between. The guy who can afford to buy or customize his whole setup every year can stay at the top.

      They were for a while. It was the dominant IPSC/uspsa open caliber for a while. once they allowed "9mm Major" into the same category, it fell out of favor.

    Ian's dressed like either Conrad Hart from the original Flashback or Jack Slater from Last Action Hero.
    4:43 Deth Wish 3 is the best of the original five precisely because it's so much like NARC or Codename Viper.

      "I don't know exactly what that is, it may very well be related to the fact that I'm using soft points that just don't feed well in pistols like this" *shrugs*
      He stated that it might be the soft points, I see no reason to argue. My original point was that it was very impressive that he beat 6 people while having to literally strip the mag out to clear the gun several times, and rerack/hammer on the back of the slide even more. I still think it's a cool gun!

    Ian, you need to work with the Wildey a bit more, they work fine if you give them a chance.
    Tune the gas system to fit your load and do not limp wrist it, hold on tight!

    You have to set the gas adjustment for each load by shooting it prior to going to the range. That way it doesn’t hang up.

    if you've got a good arm, you could always throw it at the giggler and knock him out. and in Death Wish 3, he does get the giggler in one shot, so i'm assuming the wildey jams and Bronson just never noticed.

    Pretty cool to find an automatic action pistol that still pays homage to the days of single action pistols. Nothing quite like having to smack that slide into battery after 2/3 of every shot fired.

    .45 Win Mag looks like a good round for potentially tricky poppers. Assuming you have a pistol that actually cycles properly...
