    We use them long barreled rascals for shootin' out here in windy Wyoming. The bullet is halfway there before it leaves the muzzle and hits the wind.

    Now Iggy, that sounds like a Texas 'Windy' - Not to imply that our Texas shootin pals might embellish a tale. . .But, what the heck, if you're gonna make a claim or spin a yarn, why not make it interesting; I always do.

    I know that back in the day battleship gunners had to take barrel droop into acount, just wondering if this an issue with a revolver with 12" barrel?

    I have learned, in my dodderage, that one does not need an especially long tube to experience "barrel droop".
