Border Roll

[simon1]

Border Roll, Road Agent's Spin, what ever you want to call it. Anyone ever play with it? I used to be fairly decent with a SAA, but I tried my unloaded Model P a bit ago and I am S..L..O..W.

Cops are trained, or used to be, to watch out for a variant of that with a DA revolver, or to use it yourself. You just drop your grip on the frame while you have your little, ring, or whatever finger in the trigger guard and it will turn upside down then fire it with the finger that is in the trigger guard. Much faster than a SA. Also should work well with a DAO semi.

Taught myself that as a kid, also due to watch Mr. Wales in action. By the time The Regulators hit the big screen, I was already making the spin.

I was just grateful he lost that corny accent 14 seconds in!

Yeah. He's just playing though.

I don't know of any cop that would let someone even get in the position to try that. "Drop it! Do it NOW! Now back up five steps."

But ya never know.

Here it is, my learning instrument. It was my dad’s. He had a tie-down rig that he made for it when he was a kid.

This thread made me dig it out of my old toy box.

My father one of those too. His has a bad seal and the CO2 leaks out.

So did/does his. He stopped using it because of the seal. By the time I started using it, the leak was a little more prominent-less than one day.
