Trying to understand the different SASS rules.
On page 38 of the most recent Shooters Handbook (which seems to apply to Main Match revolvers?) it reads:
"Revolver Cylinders - Center-fire and rim-fire cylinders may have no less than five and no more than six chambers."
But on page 29, Pocket Pistols are described as:
"POCKET PISTOLS AND DERRINGERS Pocket pistols and Derringers are popular for use in side matches and are occasionally introduced as an additional firearm in main match stages. - A pocket pistol is a small frame, fixed sight, pre-1900 design revolver having a barrel length of four inches or less. Pocket pistols must be .31 caliber or larger. Model “P” Colts and clones and revolvers with swing out cylinders are specifically not allowed regardless of caliber, frame size, or barrel length. Pocket pistols may not be used as or converted to main match revolvers."
No specific mention of the number of chambers.
So, does the Single Seven Birdshead in .327 Federal with 3.75" barrel qualify for side matches?
Thanx, Dave.
