Thread: What revolvers did Ross Seyfried use for IPSC before 1911?

  1. #1

    What revolvers did Ross Seyfried use for IPSC before 1911?

    I know I read in one of Ross's articles about how when he switched from revolver to a 1911 he stopped placing and started winning, but don't recall every seeing anything about what revolvers he used. Anyone know?

    I’m also curious to know. “Any Shot You Want” the A-Square reloading manual tells us that Terry Wieland shot IPSC with a 44 Magnum Mountain Gun but I don’t remember reading what Ross shot it with.

    I think I remember that also.

    Back then almost everybody shot a 45 1911. There were a few HiPowers or Model 19s.

    The volume of shooting with ammo that made PF back then must’ve been pretty rough on a Model 19.

    I loved Ross' writing. Along with John Taffin, he's responsible for my love of big bore revolvers, particularly the M29.

    Of late, I've been culling the herd. Before too long, my 29 and Single Action Army may be the only wheel guns left, because of those two.

    I'm more concerned with chasing 0.2 splits than the ammo. Especially a 158gr lead bullets

    Pic from 2010 when I spent a week with Ross when he was still in Oregon. His Combat Special rang his 50 yard steel with ease.

    I wish all of Seyfried’s articles were in a book. I must say that my favorite handguns are not that different from his displayed
