As one old man said “the most fun you can have with your clothes on”. I took two pre1923 guns and my short barrel DW to the range yesterday. I took a Marlin 1894 32-20 rifle and a 1905 32-20 revolver to the range. The old rifle took several serious cleaning sessions th get the bore cleaned up. It shot very well compared to when I got it. The old target is kinda pitiful looking. I was really impressed how it shot everything I loaded up with. I’d loaded some BE wad cutters to try out in my revolvers, these were very accurate loads. These 32-20 target models are real scarce. Last was the Dan Wesson. I was shooting some plus p 38spl . I dug out some Fed spm primers to load for the Dan.I’m saving the fed primers for the dans. The old dw was 100 percent in double action.

They target is a 1905 s&w 32-20 target model. It was made in teens, I think 1916was the year it was made. I’d love to have a dan Wesson in 32-20.

Old firearms may deteriorate, but their Dan Wesson elegance never goes out of style.
