Cartridge Revolver as a Supplementary Event
While this is primarily a Black Powder pistol club, some shooters are also interested in cartridge revolvers. This match is shot in the spirit of early Single Action revolvers as per the black powder era (1870-1900) and overlapped into the early smokeless era (1900-1920). Single Action revolvers and their modern reproductions of the pre-1900 design that use cartridges that were originally designed and loaded with black powder. Common examples include 22 Long Rifle, 32-20, 38 Special, 44-40, 44 Russian, and 45 Colt. For this match, compliant revolvers typically use black powder loads and soft lead projectiles (cowboy loads), with the exception of .22 Long Rifle factory loads.
As a Single Action match, this competition may include Class C handguns. Competitors intending to possess and use Class C handguns require the appropriate endorsements on their Concealable Firearms Licence.
Note: Our competitions allow for the use of three different classes of handguns, namely - Class B, black powder and centrefire up to .38. Class C, centrefire over .38. and Class D, rimfire. Participation records may be endorsed for only one handgun class on any day.
