Shooting the Bapty (Large Pics)

[Paviana Jones]

Finally took the Bapty out to the range for 20 rounds. Almost accurate but a bit to the left (not bad for a home soldered site) and the barrel is a tad shorter then movie accurate but hey I can't complain

Huh, the things that make me smile, cool!

If I recall correctly, the barrel on the HE is screwed in, rather than pinned. If this is the case, another thing you can do is put the barrel in a padded vice, and turn it slightly. This method is used by Cowboy shooters to "adjust their sights" on Colt and Colt clone (SAA) revolvers.

Cool pics! Did you try shooting one-handed as well? It's a bit more challenging, but fun.

Not sure your ear protection is SA, but nonetheless!!!!

Great use of an old warhorse. One quibble, and it was kind of mentioned by Tundraraider, but your left hand is very close to being dangerous; especially if you get in a hurry when shooting.

The gases escaping at firing from the front of a cylinder can sever flesh. On an automatic pistol, having your non-firing finger forward on the frame or trigger guard is not such a big deal, but on a wheelgun, you may have some serious problems.

While extreme, both in the grip the person used and the results from using said grip, the second entry on this link shows what can happen if you are not paying attention.

I don't want to be a downer, but shooting safety is something I take very seriously. Just be careful while you enjoy that piece.
