What's Wrong With This Sign?

Featured Replies

I shot an IDPA match at PPC yesterday and noted this sign as I pulled into the parking lot. Who can spot what is wrong? No prize - just the satisfaction of being correct.

Good luck.

 

Adios,

It's either the target is missing a few rings or knowing you Bob there is something wrong with the revolver

The one thing I notice it's a pistol club, but has a picture of a revolver?

High Exposure got it right, but he PM'd me to save the fun for the rest of you. There is another correct post in this thread, but I won't reveal yet.

 

@Paul - no not a member, but it is part of my monthly rotation for USPSA/IDPA matches.

 

Adios,

I'm with NEAHS

I saw it right away. I guess you gotta be one of us old school guys to spot it

It's a left handed revolver?

The LH Revolver and also the fact that police are civilians as well :)

The muzzle of the revolver looks wrong... Is that rail on it?

Please forgive my lack of knowledge but, just out of curiosity, what makes a LH revolver "wrong?"  :)

 

(FTR, I'm right handed).

Well, it says civilian marksmanship - so this Cops and non-Cops, and Police Training - so that's Cops only....

 

Hrm... So I guess that Military personnel are not permitted to shoot there.... since you are neither a civilian or a Cop ;)

I am sure that Phillipsburg would welcome new members of any stripe.

 

The cat is pretty much out of the bag - the graphics designer reversed the image of the revolver so that it would be pointing the right way for their purposes. In doing so he inadvertently made a LH'd revolver, i.e. the cylinder latch is on the right side of the frame.

 

The revolver itself is a S&W from the Performance center - hard to tell exactly which model but could be part of the Competitor series or Hunter series.

 

OK, to continue the fun and games, and this one is easier - one company made a left-handed revolver - which one? No fair Googling, you either know it or you don't. I bet some of you southpaws out there have looked into this.

 

Adios,

Not a revolver guy or a southpaw, but didn't Charter make a Lefty Wheelgun?

 

Also, couldn't any of the break open wheelguns be considered lefty friendly as well?

So if you are not a member there as the sign says, how were you allowed to shoot there. By default, the sign is wrong. :facepalm:

 

I am sure they make exceptions for matches and the like. 

It a Coltington?

Paul is just yanking our chains. Now that he is in the land of the free, every now and then he likes to poke at us with a stick, from outside the cage. :onthequiet:

 Well, I did say this one is easier and you were kind enough to hold off the first time around, so yes, CA did (maybe still does) make a southpaw revolver.

 

Your other point would also be correct and one that escaped my notice. Webleys probably the most common, but I'd love to have S&W #3 in .44 Russian or a Schofield, but the prices on those are a bit spendy.

 

Adios,

Since I have only held one revolver in my life. ( In August to be exact ) And I'm right handed, I would have not guessed the lefty. :) At least my day was not wasted & I learned something new. Thanks Bob
