You obviously havent seen JTL's range of long barrel revolvers Here I guess if you like that tactical looking pistols you cant really go wrong with a Colt 1911 with mock suppressor but I cant help loving the JTL more, it's beautiful. Don't like the £4000 price tag though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the build quality of the JTL is second to none in comparison to the Taurus. I would look at the Taurus as an entry to LBR shooting and if you really got on with it then be looking to buy 'after much saving' a JTL revolver or similar. Ruger make a few LBR's but I've never really liked the look of them. I guess it's a personal taste thing but I think few people that shoot the discipline would turn their nose up at a JTL revolver. It's just that price tag thats off-puting, you could buy an amazing deer rig with enough money left over for a Schmidt and Bender plus some rings and rounds. Crazy money!

Me too, I had 12 pistols / revolvers when we were allowed, the good old days, I reloaded for all of them, if the law changed and we were allowed to own pistols as they should be I go for them again but not with rifle barrels on the front and the ridiculous bar/rod on the back, as usual legal users get the shaft. I could not get on with the Colt 1911 45 ACP my hands are too small, I went for the S&W 45 ACP revolver 5" barrel with the half and full moon clips, it used to knock the skittles off a treat lol ----- happy days, my favorite was my Beretta 92 FS 9mm Im dreaming now.

Its section1 but got to have a min barrel of 12inch and a metal rod attached to rear to make it above 24inch.As long as your a member of a club that shoots lbp then it should be granted.

RED BEARD Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 i had no trouble being granted one for club use.and will hopefully be entering the next lbp competition,if i can get a gun sorted by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 That is one nice looking gun and if I ever decided to get one that has to be the one that I would go for as I do like the 1911 pistol having said that I would love to have a revolver but much as I try I think that all of the long barrel revolvers look absolutely horrible and they cost stupid money I just cannot see the point in them so big and heavy it defeats the hole point of it being a hand gun.

Oxon88 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 sexy piece of kit that. just wish we could be trusted to have them in standard size without the extra barrel length and crappy looking counter balance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up getting a .22 Browning Buckmark LBP at a good price, I just happened to be at the gun club when a fellow member decided to sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
