I finally took my .45 Colt Anaconda out to the range Sunday. What a honey! With a 6" barrel, recoil was negligible even with the Speer Gold-Dots that were all they had in .45 Colt. Six shot groups fired single action gave a single hole at 15'. This a far more pleasant experience than the 4" .44 Magnum Anaconda I have in the safe.
The 1908 Pocket Hammerless shoots a similar group at 15' too. Not bad for a gun made in 1923. Zero malfunctions with Georgia Arms hollow-points that Marv provided.
Did some shooting of the R604 at the 100 yard line. I can get a head consistently at that range. This was with 55 gr bulk PMC ammo too.
Marv's sister, Sandy, and her partner, Susan, came along. This was Susan's first trip to the range and she was clearly afraid of guns. We had her shooting Sandy's Ruger Mk II and an old H&R 9 shot .22 break open. She did quite well for a first timer. She even fired a single shot from Marv's Bersa. She almost fired the R604, but declined at the last second. She's very worried about recoil and dislikes the louder rounds.
We attempted to kill Marv's eBay flashlight by mounting it to the side rails of his 6.8. I fired the fatal shot! Post mortem revealed that the regulator module had merely come unthreaded from inside the barrel and it's all better now! Take that! Surefire!
