Purpose Built Guns

My 3-gun pistol, for what it's worth. Some day I'll upgrade to a Limcat or STI 2011 when I'm fast enough on my reset and trigger times to justify it.

Yeah, but it's just 22lr. The 617's, GP100's, and other full size 22 revolvers tend to be absurdly overbuilt. You can go way pencil thin on the barrels too if you're so inclined.

For Steel Challenge, and rimfire Steel Challenge in particular, you generally want as light a gun as you can get away with to prevent swinging past a target as you transition.

Nice, I love it. A scrappy DIY gun has a certain charm to it.

Thanks, it's been kind of a project gun, and a great learning experience. When you gradually replace every part in your gun, bit by bit, you end up with a pretty thorough knowledge of your gun and its capabilities.

And since it already kinda looks like crap I don't have to worry when I toss it in a dump barrel, or slap it on a table during a match. The wear just adds character.

Speaking of 3 gun, those crazy Vepr's with brakes the size of VHS tapes are pretty wild and neat looking.

And while we're at it, here's my 3-gun shotgun. I don't have a picture of my rifle in its current configuration, but it's also pretty purpose built, being a 20" HBar customized FrankenAR for minimum recoil, fast double taps, fast aiming, and far shots.

3-gun really makes you push your gear to its limits.

>magfed
you're missing like 62% of the fun, my friend.

And the best part about Silhouette? The stances!

Fuck I hate jeweling

I remember the first time I ever say anyone use the term Franken gun in reference to an AR waaay back when around 2007 or 2008 maybe in some gun rag when building your own gun was still for absolute mad men and you still needed $1000+ to get anything reputable. Author seemed surprised it worked and worked well at that. Strange looking back

But winning is fun!

S&W 52-2 with custom grips for NRA Bullseye. Semi automatic designed for shooting 38 special wadcutters.

I shouldn't disparage my gun too much. It performs amazingly, and I can't get the thing to fail. I just make fun of it because the only parts that are original in it are the BCG and the buffer.

Another Bullseye gun

Gawd those grips are whacky looking.

I present the Colt Camp Perry, a single shot revolver.

I've always wanted to try them out. You have to shoot Bullseye one handed, so the idea is to get as much contact as possible to stabilize your grip.

I just love that thicc sight set up.

There were Rugers something like that too. What was the idea behind these again?

I've been considering converting an old, beat to shit revolver to a model like this, the idea fascinates me and I'd love one in .32

What, exactly, revolves on this?

Interesting. The technique is the same for all pistol shooting really, even with 2 hands. You want the maximum surface area of your hands possible in contact with the pistol. The more area you touch, the more control you have.

I wonder if anyone has ever tried funky grips like that for USPSA or 3-gun.

It's hand revolved.

Well originally it was meant for slow fire competition, and seeing as the barrel and "cylinder" are permanently fixed together it eliminates the alignment and cylinder gap issues of revolvers.

Absolutely nothing! Unless you count the bullet spinning due to the rifling to be revolving about it's own axis.

those controls are hot

Agreed. I think it's the most beautiful 2011 style gun I've ever seen.

Rail guns for benchrest shooting are probably some of the most extreme examples of a purpose built gun. At this point it's basically entirely an engineering sport.

Now that's a bit too autistic for me to get into.
To me, half the fun of shooting sports is how you handle the gun and its controls.

I actually like the look of this. Improvise and run with it.

What is this meant to do? What does it fire?

Same here. That level of benchrest really seems to be for tinkerers and obsessive reloaders.

It's for benchrest shooting. Literally just shooting the smallest possible groups at a set distance. At railgun level, it's entirely about building and maintaining an extremely precise piece of equipment, reloading to the highest extremes of precision, then reading conditions on the range and taking shots under repeatable circumstances. Pic related is a benchrest shooting range all decked out for reading wind conditions. I'd assume that gun is 6mm BR (Benchrest). There are less extreme divisions where the guns actually look like guns.

>someone somewhere
Im sure they tried, but the grip is fairly wide and could get annoying.
