DUSTY BODDAMS Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Wild Bunch on the Brazos the Texas State Championship is in the planning stages and the newest offering will be a POP gun match. That’s right ! Pocket pistols! Being how we are wild bunch we are doing a side match using the types of pocket pistols that would be popular in that era. So pull out the pocket hammerless 32 auto colt or that savage 1905 and let’s play! Remember lead bullets only!

Goody Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 POP GUN side match Pocket Pistol rules and guidelines Legal pop guns are of the type of pistol manufactured 1945 or earlier. This not the date of manufacture of a particular pistol but the original version date, therefore a Walther pp could of been manufactured in 1939 or 1979 and be legal for pop. There are many pistols that are legal for this side match but the perfect example would be the 1903 colt hammerless. An early manufactured pistol that falls perfectly into the correct time frame, accurate and reliable. All legal pistols must be centerfire. Please note a few examples below and note this is not all inclusive. Colt 1903 and 1908 hammerless, colt vest pocket 25 Walther PP or PPK, Walther vest pocket 25, Sauer 32, Ruby 32, 1900 FN browning, 1907 Savage 32/380, Remington hammerless, Ortgies 32, Beretta 1935, Mauser 1910, MAB 32 or 25, Llama mini 1911 in 32 or 380, Dreyse 1907 32, Frommer Stop 1910, Sauer 38H, Mauser HSC.

Goody Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Cleaned it up a bit for you. Sounds like another fun side match. Just one more reason for someone to play! One thing I might mention. Back before there were official rules for Wild Bunch and we ran our own version it was wide open as to what could be shot, so long as the design was pre 1917. We wrote in the caveat that it was the competitors responsibility to prove a gun or design fit into the time frame. This was just in case someone drug something out that no one knew anything about.

DUSTY BODDAMS Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 I’ve been asked a by a few folks about lead ammo. Magtech makes factory lead 32acp. Anybody shot any of this? Another option is HooDoo Brown, he has bought himself a 32 savage and had a sack of lead pistol ammo in 32acp. His loaded ammo was fired out of 2 savages a colt 1903 hammerless and a 1910/22 browning. No jambs and shot as well or better than the fmj. I’ve already shot a fair amount of his 380acp and it’s accurate and reliable as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostvaquero Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Just at the range Sunday shot the 1903 with Magtech 32 acp lead bullets worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
