      @@DavidM-um2uk It wouldn't be totally unnecessary - It would help reduce weight a little, and a little goes a long way for Olympic shooters. Nonetheless it does add somewhat of a niche comedic touch to the design. Certainly better than a big flat vacant block of steel laying there in the middle of an otherwise pleasant looking 'revolver'.

    Ruger made a single shot from their Blackhawk frame back in the 60s. They called it the Hawkeye and chambered it for .256 Winchester magnum. They didn't make many and are fairly rare today. If you ever see one it might make a cool video.

      Later research revealed that the Hawkeye series were factory drilled and tapped.

  • @michaeldoe4805
    @michaeldoe4805 3 роки тому +4

    The first design flaw I have spotted as a target shooter myself, is the front sight and rear sight is on two different moving parts of the gun. That is big no-no in a target pistol. No matter how tight it locks, both sights should have been installed solidly in relation to the barrel.

  • @derekp2674

    Ian - thanks, that's a very interesting design.
    It was interesting to learn how rare those are.
    In contrast, Webley .22LR single shot target pistols were commonplace in the UK.
    When I moved "up" from air pistols in the early 1980s, most clubs used a variety of different Webley models for initial training and some club members used them for slow fire comptetitions too.
    As private owners however, most of us only bought semi-autos, so we could also shoot in rapid fire competitions.

    • @Troy-dw1iy
      @Troy-dw1iy 6 років тому +17

      Well, I'd assume because the long axis with an extremely positive mechanical lock provided by the single rotational point, and the fact that the sight bases are fixed and all provides for less margin of error than having a (relatively) short breech block/"cylinder" or side tilting breech or whatever, that was having to align to the barrel/breech as well as the hammer, and the resulting gap along with the (seeming) higher potential for "wobble" in the fit. But I really couldn't say for sure?

    • @Gun4Freedom
      @Gun4Freedom 6 років тому +6

      Troy, Something tilt barrel, with both sights mounted on barrel, like the Thompson Center Contender, would be slightly more accurate, if you are really going for it. It would be marginal, but if you were in a competition, every little bit counts. They would have done better on this colt, if they had been able to mount both the front and rear sights on the barrel. Even minutely, the front sight can vary in alignment with the rear sight on this pistol, due to thermal expansion or slight variances in the locking mechanism.

I know that before the 1870's the US was not a huge contender in global politics or industry, and wouldnt become really influential until after 1900 (at least to my understanding) But I noticed that in your ww1 and turn of the century gun videos that the US seems to be a major producer for firearms for major nations around the world from providing high grade and capacity machinery for france for the Lebel, to producing hundreds of thousands of Mosins and 1895's for Russia, Remington split breech's for everyone etc. At that point in time was the US a major player in firearm manufacture or design?

    It looks like it was holstered and un-holstered quite a bit. Wonder where the holster is now.

    Now I'm not one for video game comparisons, but the first thing that comes to my mind are the 2 shot revolvers in Borderlands.

    That was my question whether it was DA/SA or SAO?Double action hardly seems useful on a single shot pistol.

    What would have been the range of a target match back then?and what kind of groups could this produce?

    I was surprised and pleased to see the barrel/chamber was monolithic. But I too would not buy the gun were I a target shooter at the time. I would opt for a revolver. The extra rounds make it more practical.
    Also, I would imagine a competitive shooter would participate in multiple categories. To create a design that would prevent use in any other category would be a nuisance in itself.

    The sights both be on the barrel as the hole barrel swings out.

    Interesting. I would love to shoot it back to back with my S&W Model K-22 Masterpiece. It's hands down the most accurate and smooth shooting revolver I've ever shot. (Well, almost. I also have a Model 15 Combat Masterpiece in .38 special that's pretty damn smooth, but the Model 17 shoots better groups.)

    *Question:* They went to all this trouble (lots of machining, single shot etc.) for a "pretty" target pistol with good accuracy, and they didn't mount the rear sight on the barrel/chamber block. Wouldn't that be an obvious and easy improvement?
    (Then the tightness of the locking of the barrel to the frame wouldn't be so critical, right?)

    • @robertbogan225
      @robertbogan225 6 років тому

      Question wouldn't that make the sight farther away from your eye? And also make the sight radius shorter? Yes obviously persoanally I would want a gun with sights mounted on the barrel its obvious it would be more accurate.

    Isn't the front sight called a PATridge not PARTridge. I know I have to catch myself all the time from calling it a partridge sight.
    Similar to Mosin Nagant not a Moison Nagant.

  • @jimmelnyk7506
    @jimmelnyk7506 6 років тому

    That front sight would be a Patridge-style sight. A partridge is a bird.

    I'd guess the reason the barrel swings out is easier cleaning (anyone who owns a revolver will know what I'm talking about).
