I've never been accused of being totally sane but I think I am on this one!
The more I shoot and admire the Piettia Police .36 caliber '62, the more I am falling for it!
OK, 6 shots, wonderfull, ya never know when you'll need the 6th.
The frame size, perfect for larger habds that do not fit a small .31 frame. Overall size is just about right, maybe you could do with a 4" bbl instead of a 5 1/2" It'd just make handling that much quicker!
Nevertheless, it'sjust about perfect for a beltgun! TheGrop could use a little trimming to fit the individual hand but mine has a thicker grip and seems to fit pretty good.
Powerwise it's a typical .36.
Not exactly historically correct but who cares it works great!
I think that maybe a larger front blade would pick-up quicker and clearer than the small stocker does. It'd also improve accuracy.
Mine holds a decent 2 1/2"2 7 yards very consistantlly, I'd like to see it print a little tighter but it's good rnough for the "Social Work" that it's meant for.
As a plinker, it's a blast! No respectable can is safe.
I have been reading up on the Gunfighter grip and I realize that I need to grip higher, just under the Hammer spur to improve steadiness and control the little recoil present. Groups ought to shrink a little if i learn this!
Way shorter than the '51 the Police draws faster,seems to be barrel heavy though and I contribute it to the massive casting containig the ratchet mechanism. A vast improvement for ball seating.
This revolver really has me intregued! I have to learn to shoot it well, just one of those things...
