Darryl's comments about the limited numbers of rounds fired in training back in the day are interesting. Ed Cantrell, who was a well known, controversial gunfighter/cop in Wyoming back in the '70's (Google him) used a 4" Model 10 S&W. Nothing fancy and he was as lethal as they came. He fired 50 rounds through that gun every day. No more, no less. Fired from all kinds of positions, distances, strong hand, weak hand, etc. but never more than 50. Then he cleaned the gun. Bill Jordan said under oath at one point that he he knew Ed and Ed was faster than him, but Ed never fired the quantity of rounds that people fire today with autoloaders. Sometimes I think the huge round counts you see in training today do little more than promote the "spray and pray" mentality that you see in so many police shootings since the switch to autos.
Ed Cantrell was the real deal. Bill Jordan's testimony at Cantrell's trial thatvEd was maybd a mite faster, after demonstrating in front of the jury with blanks just how fast he. Jordan, really was has come to be legend.
Great post. Could you guys put links to the guests internet presence sites so they are easy to access instead of trying to figure out from the audio the actual address?
Great video. Revolvers need more love from my generation of instructors. Even as a USPSA Carry Optics shooter I find myself carrying a J frame .38 with Georgia wadcutters and painted sights much of the time. These guns are great for newbies- if they are set up properly like the new .32 UC.
Nice walk down memory lane. I started in the revolver era too and so much knowledge is out there in peril ad those of us get older. And since Scott is in the next county over I'm going to be taking him some business.
I don't have the disposable income to collect things because I think they're cool, so calling an LCR "soulless" or "the glock of revolvers," is an endorsement to me. Thanks to Bolke and Neumayer I've been super pleased with a pair of LCRs with Punch. Only change I would make would be to give it sights like the new UCs
20:42 bryan does something inappropriate to the camera (I feel violated, but also slightly aroused?). 30:03 where can I learn more about this? Say, for instance, I inherited 2 Model 29s, a model 28-2, and a model 10-5. How can I learn the maintenance routine, and expected performance of each of these?
Love the revolver chats. I’ve listened to all of them. Keep them coming.
Scott, I thought your trigger job videos were very informative. Absolutely worth watching. Thanks.
I know it won’t happen. But a single action revolvers video would be amazing!

@JeffDonnell-t5f every professional course that I have taken which was "high round count" was also high accountability.

@@PrimaryAndSecondaryThat's good. I would hope that would be the case in any properly run course.

Been looking forward to another gun nerds episode. Thanks, Matt.
Yes, single-action revolvers are a totally different thing. The hammer is what one uses to run an SA sixgun. It is largely about hammer management.
Awesome podcast Matt! Great group!
Love the content fellas
I believe that the smith pin does nothing. I have a 10-8 with a canted barrel. How does that happen if the pin worked?
FINALLY GUN NERDS!!! Back to decent content

I about wrecked my truck when the accidental John Holmes reference came out on the podcast

I like these gun nerds.
YES!!!
