Pietta 5.5" Sheriff's Model Review
Hmm, a video featuring a chronograph and penetration test. That sounds like it would make for interesting viewing. You might just see that pop up someday! Howard -

Pietta 5.5" Sheriff's Model Review
Interesting. It looks like the cut-outs for the nipples on your revolver were machined with larger openings. Apparently they changed that somewhere along the way. Howard -

Pietta 5.5" Sheriff's Model Review
Thanks Gents! I'm glad you liked the video. I'm surprised to know an in-line capper works with the NMA. May I ask the make of that revolver? Howard -

Cap & Ball Revolver vs. Modern Handgun Qualification Course
Like I said, there is no state requirement (for which I'm glad. You can see what they came up with for a qualification course!). Individual departments can require whatever holster/retention level they wish. Virtually every officer in the state carries a holster with some sort of retention... -
