For those of you just tuning in, Indy's vast city park has a (weekends only) public shooting range! (IMPD uses it five days a week). As befits a big park, it's a big range:
No, bigger than that; this is just Bay 1 of two identical areas!
I was shooting okay:
And here's the stable:
The H&R is new to my collection and has remarkably little felt recoil, more like an air pistol than a .22. Maybe it's the very small frame. All are nice but if I could only own one handgun, I'd take the High Standard over the rest: it's got good sights, I shoot well with it and it's never done anything but go "bang!" when I pull the trigger. (The Ruger/Pac-Lite is nice, but every so often it goes "jam," instead. I never liked jam.)
A morning well spent, several hundred rounds downrange.

How much jamhave you gotten from the revolvers shown?
None-- No, wait, that's not true. All of them will sometimes have issues once they get get very dirty if one is not careful to seat the .22 cartridges when reloading.
NICE!!! And a nice selection to shoot too!
Next time I'll bring triple the 22-LR. Fifty rounds is just a warm-up with this crowd.
Very nice, indeed. Way-cool post.
Hell, a bad day at the range is better than a so-so day at work.....
Here's some possibly helpful info for your misbehaving Mark II.
I found it searching Xavier's blog awhile back for articles about my favorite .22

"I left the Combat Masterprice,er, Masterpiece at home, making room for the little H&R."
I think you've achieved the gunnie's equivalent of "a six-car garage and I STILL have to leave the Ferrari out in the rain."
Also, yes you did shoot pretty welll; bemind me not to annoy you.
I like the variety of revolver shapes and stylings. It's a very fine sample. A pleasure to ogle.
A very nice shooting collection.
