Nice gun and nice shooting, Troy. Funny, when they first came out, they immediately got banned from metalic silhouette competition because they were displaying this kind of accuracy. Oh, IHMSA claimed it was because they were not a "production" revolver, and that they were "too expensive" to qualify. The simple fact of the matter was they were (still are) so damn accurate that they put everything else to shame. They are legal now, but old Elgin Gates's game has kind of died out anyway.

And yes, it is very much a "mind game". Many shooters never can master this level of blast and recoil. Lots of exposure to it helps, but at some point one will reach those "diminishing returns" and it could very well ruin a guy for handgun shooting. It is indeed a very real psychological game we play with these things, far more so than with big bore rifles. Something about all that blast and recoil kind of hanging freely out in front of your mug...
