I’m just back from the 2025 Pat Rogers Memorial Revolver Roundup, and wanted to give all the folks who couldn’t make it a quick recap of the event before we get down to the business of turkey and stuffing . . .
Like last year, I wore two hats at the Roundup this time, as both a student and instructor. I’ll do my best to cover the event from the former perspective, but would encourage those of you who attended to give me a hand in the comments–please share your experiences, so we can tell the story better.
Significant anniversary
This go ’round had special importance because it was the Tenth Anniversary of the event. The first Revolver Roundup was held at the Dallas Rifle & Pistol Club and hosted less than two dozen attendees. The event quickly grew in size and eventually relocated to the Gunsite Training Academy in 2021, so more students could be accommodated.
Beloved firearms instructor Pat Rogers was slated to teach at the 2016 Revolver Roundup, but passed away unexpectedly before the students there could take advantage of his wit and wisdom. The event was renamed in his honor that year, and has continued to be known as the Pat Rogers Memorial Revolver Roundup (PRMRR) ever since.
After many years of watching it from a distance with great interest, but being unable to make it all work out, I finally got to my first Roundup in 2023, and was immediately hooked.
The lineup
The 2025 PRMRR hosted a great training calendar, filled with lots of educational and entertaining options for the attendees. In a special nod to the Tenth Anniversary, Revolver Roundup founders Wayne Dobbs and Darryl Bolke (“DB”) teamed up to teach a class together, “just like the old days,” which brought back memories of not only the original Roundup, but their time working together at Hardwired Tactical Shooting.
Another special feature of the 2025 event was an increased emphasis on single action revolvers. Roundup instruction had previously focused on double action revolvers, but this year there were multiple options for fans of the thumb-busters, and the classes were so popular that I’d expect them to remain a part of future Roundup calendars.
As with every Roundup, the difficulty lay in figuring out which classes you wanted to attend from the list of great options. There’s simply not enough time to do it all, and you just have to pick a few, and plan to catch up with the others next year.
Friday
The event started on Friday, with a welcome barbecue that was hosted in Gunsite’s new covered Mess Deck. This new building, adjacent to the Main Classroom, was a significant upgrade for Gunsite, and made for a more comfortable experience, as it gave everyone a place to sit and some shelter from the weather, which was generally pretty cold (Lows in the 30s, Highs in the 50s) and often wet throughout the weekend. We didn’t let the weather stop us, but it was nice to get a break from it as we ate!
The barbecue was sponsored by many of the vendors in attendance, to include Simply Rugged Holsters, TUFF Products, Wilderness Tactical Products, ConcealedCarry.com, Mountain Man Medical, and other generous benefactors. Thank you to them, and to all that I’ve forgotten, for their support!
I think the barbecue sets the tone for the weekend, and firmly establishes from the start that while this event includes lots of training opportunities, it’s primarily a social event at its core. It’s always great to be reunited with all my Roundup Friends, particularly those I haven’t seen in a year, and to make new friends among this great group of folks.
SaturdaY Morning
The training calendar kicked off bright and early on Saturday, with a mass briefing that introduced students to the weekend’s events, and reviewed safety procedures and expectations.
Following the briefing, students then set off for their first training class, which kicked off at 0900. This year, I was exceptionally pleased to attend Gunsite Instructor Lew Gosnell’s class on single action revolver fundamentals, since I’d never had any formal instruction on these guns and was looking forward to learning some best practices with them.
Lew is an accomplished competitor in the single action revolver sphere and was an excellent guide for us, as we learned the most efficient way to run these guns. All of our shooting was on steel at the Dozier Range (Gunsite lingo for “steel target range”) associated with the larger Hanneken Range (named after 2LT Herman H. Hanneken, a Marine presented with the Medal of Honor for his actions fighting Haitian rebels in 1919, as part of the century’s “Banana Wars”).
Lew’s system for running the single action hinges on replacing what you’ve shot at the earliest opportunity. Instead of shooting all six chambers, then emptying all of them at once and reloading, Lew emphasized clearing a a single chamber then immediately reloading it before you advanced to clearing the next chamber. This manual of arms for the single action is especially appropriate for high stakes circumstances (self-defense, hunting dangerous game, etc.) to ensure there’s always some ammo in the gun, and it was great to be introduced to it. While I’ve been accustomed to running tube-fed shotguns and lever action rifles in this manner, I’ve never considered it for single action revolvers, and really benefited from Lew’s entertaining and professional instruction.
After a series of skill-building exercises, Lew had us shooting competition staples like a modified version of the “Bill Drill” and “Dozier Drill” on the range’s steel silhouette targets, and we eventually moved to shooting the plate rack with our guns.
I was shooting the Ruger Super Wrangler revolver that I’ve previously covered in these pages, with great-looking stocks from Brandon Trevino at Parabellum Woodcraft, and I was surprised that I was able to topple the plates with my 36 grain .22 LR loads with a hit on the top-third of the plate. I didn’t think the tiny bullets would have enough energy to knock them down, but accuracy was the key . . . perhaps there’s a good lesson there?
Now, I’m no speed-master with any gun, and especially with the single action gun that I’m less familiar with, but by the end of Lew’s class, he had me cleaning the six-plate rack in 5.16 seconds. I was pretty pleased with that performance, as a guy who doesn’t shoot these guns much. Thanks for all your great help and instruction, Lew!
Saturday afternoon
After a made-to-order lunch, provided by a local vendor who does an excellent job and offers a broad menu of items to choose from (including many allergy-sensitive options), we set off for the afternoon’s events.
While most shooters were out on the range turning money into fun, I put my instructor hat on, and gave the first of three lectures that I would present during the weekend. I should probably say I “hosted the first of three conversations,” because these presentations were all delivered in an interactive, collaborative manner, as discussions between peers.
I focused on debriefing three different and notable revolver gunfights, to include the 1981 murder of Trooper Phillip Lamonaco, the 1986 murder of Officer Scott Gadell, and a 1968 gunfight involving Officers Rudy Limas and Norman Roberge of the Los Angeles Police Department. We collectively analyzed each of these case studies, and mined them for important lessons about Mindset, Tactics, Training, Skill, and Equipment, using Mas Ayoob’s Priorities of Survival model as our guide.
Saturday’s session was a small group of about six to seven students, and I really enjoyed the experience of working closely my fellow RevolverGuys, in a more informal setting.
Sunday
Sunday began with a mass safety briefing delivered by DB, which put a revolver-specific spin on the topic. Following that, I started the morning session with the second of my presentations, and enjoyed another small, but enthusiastic, audience of six to seven students. After a quick lunch in the Mess Deck, my pals and I were off to the York Range (named after Medal of Honor recipient Sergeant Alvin C. York, for his actions near Chatel-Chehery, France, in The Great War), to shoot in my pal Bruce Cartwright’s Marksmanship Standards class.
Bruce (“the only Fed that Pat ever trusted”) was ably assisted by SAC Tactical instructor Jack Andenoro and Greg Ellifritz of Active Response Training (who really needs no introduction to most RevolverGuys, but make sure to visit his website if that’s a new name to you, because you’ve been missing out). The trio ran the group of students through some dry practice drills then launched into the FBI Bullseye Instructor Qualification course, which was fired on a NRA B8 Center. The course of fire looked like this:1
Timed Fire: 15 Yards, 5 rounds fired in 15 seconds from “Ready Gun” (Low Ready). Repeat, for a total of two runs;
Rapid Fire: 15 Yards, 5 rounds fired in 10 seconds from “Ready Gun.” Repeat, for a total of two runs.
Slow Fire: 25 Yards, 10 rounds fired in 4 minutes.
Total rounds fired: 30
Score: Use the B8 scoring rings. Minimum of 260 to pass.
I was very pleased with my 283 score, which bested last year’s effort by a wide margin (I shot a 270 last year), but top honors in our class went to Michael, who shot a 285 score that earned him the highly-coveted, SAC Tactical “You Don’t Suck . . . That Much” Award. Congratulations Michael! Well done!
We then shot the “Filthy 14” drill, which was a new one to me. This course of fire is fired at 10 yards on the NRA B8 Center, and uses a combination of accuracy and time standards to determine your grade. Instructor Jack ran it cold, to show us how it’s done, and aced it.
The course of fire begins with an empty revolver, aimed in at the target. On command, the shooter conducts at least one dry fire trigger press, moves to cover (a sidestep on the range, sufficed), reloads with a speed loader, fires all six rounds, ejects the empties, reloads two rounds with a speed strip and fires both, ejects the empties, and (finally!) reloads with two loose rounds from his pocket and fires both.
The shooter is required to score a minimum of 90 points, using the B8 scoring rings, to pass. Additionally, the shooter must complete the course of fire under 50 seconds to pass (shooting 40 seconds or less earns you an “Intermediate” rank, shooting 30 seconds or less earns an “Advanced” rank, and shooting 25 seconds or less “Gives John Wick Nightmares”–Ha!).
I thought the course of fire was challenging, as it was fast-paced, and it did a good job of surveying all the fundamental skills. I shot a 94 (a 95 if I’m less stringent about scoring one of my two line-shots as a 10, instead of a 9) and finished the course just in under 40 seconds. I look forward to shooting it again on my next range day, and trying to break into the “Advanced” rank!
The last course of fire we shot was the Card Shark Drill. In this course of fire, a standard playing card is shot with three rounds, from a distance of three yards, starting from the holster. The draw and shots must be completed within three seconds to pass–anything over three seconds is a failure. Additionally, all three rounds must hit the card to pass.
This is even more fast and furious than the Filthy 14 drill, and it was lots of fun. I got all my hits in exactly three seconds (3.00 even–no wasted effort!) and Bruce signed my playing card as a memento. I look forward to giving this another go with my S&W 640 snub.
Sunday evening saw us in the classroom, listening to DB discuss the guns used by the lawmen in the final Bonnie and Clyde ambush. He cut through the myths and disinformation that litter the historical record of this famous shooting, then sent us home to prepare for Monday Fun Day!
Monday
The Monday schedule is run a bit like an Open House, with students wandering from range to range at their own pace, and staying as long as they please.
My buddies and I started off the morning shooting Greg Ellifritz’s Ten Round Proficiency Test, which is designed to test your cold performance and identify the skills that you need to brush up on.
The course of fire is shot from Low Ready at five yards on a NRA B8 Center. On the signal, the shooter fires three rounds with his dominant hand, transfers the gun to the non-dominant hand, and fires two rounds. A reload with a speedloader is conducted, and the student fires five rounds using both hands.
Greg says he’d like his students to score 90% or better, and complete the drill within 20 seconds (he holds himself to a 15-second standard). If the shooter uses a speed strip instead of a speed loader, an extra three seconds are provided.
I decided to shoot this one with my carry gun, a S&W Model 640, since I hadn’t shot it yet that weekend and I wanted the gut-check on where I stood with the little J-frame. On my first attempt, I fired the three dominant-hand rounds and then had a brain fart, going straight to my reload. After a bad word or two, I sheepishly asked Greg for a restart and tried again. ; ^ )
The second round went much better, and I shot a 92 in 16.96 seconds. This split the difference between my pair of attempts last year, which clocked in at 17.8 seconds and 15.69 seconds, so I’m pretty consistent, year over year.
After we left Greg, we went over to shoot the LAPD Combat Course with instructors Wayne Dobbs, Dave Dolan, and Bill Parmalee. Bill explained this course was fired every other month when he started with LAPD, and the Target Course was fired during the other months.
As RevolverGuy Dick Bonneau previously chronicled, the Combat Range at the LAPD Academy used a set of three turning targets for each shooter, and barricades for some stages. With a limited number of targets and no barricades to use on the Gunsite Shot Quad Range, Wayne modified the course a bit for our purposes.
We started at five yards, standing between a pair of silhouette targets, at Low Ready. On the signal. we fired a “box drill” sequence, with two rounds to the body of the right target, two rounds to the body of the left target, one round to the head of the left target, then one round to the head of the right target. An emergency reload was performed, then we re-accomplished the pattern, for a total 12 rounds fired in 25 seconds or less.
The next stage was fired at seven yards from Low Ready. On the signal, we fired two rounds on the right target in two seconds. Resetting, we repeated that on the left target, and then reset and repeated it on the right target again, for a total of six rounds fired.
The next stage was fired at twelve yards from Low Ready. On the signal, we fired two rounds on the left target, two rounds on the right target, and two rounds on the left target again, as a continuous string, in less than 8 seconds.
We moved to seventeen yards for the final stage, which was fired without use of the normal barricade. Starting with the gun in a two-handed, dominant hand grip, and aimed in on the target with the finger on the trigger, we waited for the start signal.
At the start signal, we had three seconds to fire a single round. This was repeated twice more with the two-handed, dominant hand grip.
The gun was then shifted into the non-dominant hand, and a two hand grip was readied, with the gun aimed in on-target, finger on the trigger, as before. Once again, we had three seconds to fire a single round, and the process was repeated twice more with the non-dominant, two-handed grip.
I shot the course twice, with my second effort resulting in a 299 / 300 score that I was very pleased with!
Following this, we plinked at some 50 yard steel over on Bryan Eastridge’s range, until it was lunchtime, and I spent the final afternoon of the Roundup delivering my presentation to a crowd that numbered somewhere between 40 and 50 students. This final presentation wasn’t as cozy as my small-group sessions on Saturday and Sunday, but I was happy to deliver the message to so many students, and send them home with something to think about.
See ya!
Before we knew it, the 2025 PRMRR was in the books and we were on our way home, but not before we stopped to take some final photos with friends and wish them safe travels.
The 2026 PRMRR will probably look a little different, with a two-day format and a different spot on the calendar, to provide a greater buffer between the event and Thanksgiving. Standby for more details, and for the opening of registration (which usually starts sometime in early January).
I had a wonderful time shooting and visiting with everyone at the Roundup, and REALLY appreciated all the RevolverGuy fans who took the time to say hello and share how much they enjoyed the blog. It’s always great to hear from you and your praise means a lot to us. I look forward to seeing all of you again next year, and hope to see some new faces as well.
Be safe out there!

1.) We shot the FBI Bullseye Instructor Course backwards this year, by starting close and working back. The FBI actually starts the course at 25 Yards with Slow Fire, and works their way forward to the 15 Yard line to shoot the Timed Fire and Rapid Fire stages, in that order.
Fantastic summary of events accompanied by outstanding photos! We can tell you had a blast (literally) by the thousand watt smile in all your pictures Mike!!
I love being there with my tribe! We had a super time!
The only time you frown at Roundup is when that 7 or 8 ruins your great looking target. Who put that hole in my target? 😆
Mike, a great summary of a busy weekend. From the course listings, the only problem I see with the Revolver Roundup is how to select which segments one is going to attend. To be able to participate in all of them would be ideal. The vast array of available training should make any revolverguy short circuit at the opportunity.
The segment on the single action revolver perked my interest. My first handgun as a teenager is a 4-5/8″ Ruger Super Single Six. (Thanks to my late Opa) I’ve put uncountable bricks of .22LR through that gun over the years. It invariably finds its way into my shooting bag going to the range. When I reached age 21 and could legally buy handguns, my first purchase was a 4-5/8″ Ruger Blackhawk Convertible .357 / 9mm. It has had more cast bullets put through it than I can begin to count. Of late with 9mm ammo being so cheap, that 9mm cylinder resides in the Blackhawk.
In my ‘umble opinion, learning to run a single action revolver makes a great foundation to run ANY revolver. It is the stick shift of handguns. Single actions, specifically Rugers, are brute strong with an insanely simple mechanism; easy to load, unload, shoot, and drop dead reliable. Being proficient in manipulating a Single Action under ‘stress’ makes running a double action seem rather easy.
Greg Ellifritz made an interesting observation about carrying reloads, and it wasn’t about the loading device. It was about his reload being round nose ball. The primary load being a wadcutter has a proven track record of changing bad guys’ minds. With the possible exception of the Federal HST 130gr inverted hollow base wadcutter, I am not aware of any modern .38 Special load that expands reliably and effectively from 2″ barrels. The late Paul Harrell did his Meat Target tests with the old 158gr LRN .38 Special, and it showed remarkable tissue damage that belied the reputation it acquired.
I hope that everyone who attended takes the training to heart, and hones their skills accordingly.
Yes! It’s hard to figure out how to squeeze 10# of fun into a 5# bag, but we do our best!
As you know, I started my handgunning career with a Single Six too, so shooting that Super Wrangler was familiar territory. However, Lew showed me a better way to run the gun than I’d been used to–a combative way of running the gun–and I really enjoyed learning from him. Even though I cut my teeth on single actions, I spend all my time with double actions, so it was really good to get some practice with the thumb buster.
Terrific review, Mike.
As I said to you in person, you are quite possibly the most talented platform instructor I have ever encountered—I truly meant that.
And a pretty good dude, too—for a Gucci-jet guy…
VR
Big Wave Dave
Haha! Thanks Dave! Somebody had to fly the best and sexiest airplanes, you know . . . ; ^ )
I’m truly humbled by your praise, since I know the caliber of people you flew and worked with in your career. Thank you, sincerely. It was a pleasure seeing you and I wish we’d had more time.
For those who weren’t there, you really missed out by not getting to see Dave’s wonderful collection of sixguns. Every time I thought he had pulled out the most exotic or historical piece of the bunch, he’d reach into a bag and come out with another stunner. I soon needed a mop for the puddle of drool that I was making. The best part? He could really shoot all of them, too!
You mentioned the 1986 Scott Gadell incident in Far Rockaway. The perp in that incident was named RoRo, real name not important. I was already working in Connecticut by then, but had family and friends at NYPD. The perp was a guy we had arrested and knew quite well. Scott had expended his six rounds without any hits. I believe stopped by a piece of furniture. The issue at that point was still dump pouches. The perp armed with a 9mm executed the Officer at close range. This precipitated the adoption of speed loaders. Still in my mind as what could have been done differently? I attended the funeral a somber event that caused me to analyze my own tactics and techniques. Sgt. Duncan W. Stewart SPD #7244 (retired)
🇺🇸👮🏻♂️👍🏻
Duncan, thanks for sharing that, and for your LE service. I discussed Scott’s shooting at length in the presentation and tried to draw the important lessons from it. The equipment was definitely an issue for him, and helped pave the way for speedloaders being approved, as you mention. Tap on the hyperlink embedded with his name, and it will take you to our earlier story about Scott, which might interest you. He actually did get one hit on that scumbag, hitting him in the arm. Be safe!
Mike,
Terrific write up on the 2025 PRMRR.
I wish I could’ve attended your lectures, especially the one about P.O. Gadell.
I’m tempted to drive my camper 1800 miles next year for a once in a lifetime event.
In the meantime, you have 11 months to work on improving your 299/300 score!
See you in South Carolina for Revolver Fest next October.
Ha! I’ll have to get on that, so I can pull it off the first time, and not wait until I’m “warmed up.”
Honestly, my training and practice regimen has been rather pathetic the last few years, and I didn’t expect to shoot that well. I actually shouldn’t have shot that well! I think the key was my mental approach, since I told myself not to worry about the performance, and just have fun with it. I guess taking all the pressure to perform out of the equation freed my mind to focus on the right stuff. There’s a lesson in there, somewhere–I just wish I could achieve a state of awareness where I could do that on demand! The work continues . . .
Looking forward to seeing you at next year’s event! I’m not sure what it will look like yet, but maybe I’ll be able to bring the “Three Gunfights” lecture to the crowd out there? We’ll see how it shakes out.
As you discussed in your talk, gear was a component of every shooting. It was all similar from the 1968 to the 1981 and 1986 shootings discussed. Tactics and tenacity, and a certain amount of luck, all were far more important. Great to see you Mike!
simplyrugged.com
Thank you Rob! It was an honor to have you in the audience, my friend. Glad you got something useful out of the presentation.
Yes, the gear didn’t change during that long stretch, did it? But, as you noted, the Mindset, Tactics, Training and Skill components all had a huge influence on the outcomes.
Excellent summary of the weekend Mike. I enjoyed your discussion of the three gunfights, very informative and very insightful as always. I had a blast and I’m looking forward to it next year. Be well brother!
Many thanks pal! I wish we’d had more time, but it was great to see you. Be safe out there!
Hey Mike, Thanks for your AAR on the Round Up. Having finally attended, I agree with your observations on the event, and I thoroughly enjoyed being there. Your description of hanging with your “tribe” was spot on. It was very cool to associate with revolver people who “get it” during the long weekend. I hadn’t been to Gunsite for almost 30 years; it was amazing how much it’s grown. Driving in and seeing the Sconce with its purposeful overwatch view of the entrance reminded me of the heritage of the place. Gunsite appears to be in very good hands with Mr. Mill’s and Mr. Campbell’s leadership, and the current crew they have staffing it.
Deciding what classes to take was difficult because they all were of interest to me. I elected to take the “Big Bores Start with Four” class with Bryan Eastridge and Caleb Giddings on the first morning, it was the maiden voyage for the class, and it was only offered once. Eastridge and Giddings are both self-described “bullet nerds” and they complemented each other well in their discussion, which naturally favored handloading to make the big bores more “shootable”. Eastridge made a statement about dryfire that resonated with me. He encouraged using both hands to dry fire equally to keep the wear on action parts even. I had never thought about that, but it makes a lot of sense. I shot a S&W 624 .44 Special with tame 240 gr. RNFP handloads and enjoyed the class very much. The Worley grips on my gun elicited approving inquiries from a few of my fellow shooters, as they usually do. I stayed with Eastridge and Giddings in the afternoon for the Performance and Accuracy class, it was a lot of fun as well as being informative. I was fortunate enough to end up in the shoot off, my 4″ Model 66 was working well. I took second place to Monte Long from XS Sights (He’s a good shot and super nice guy, don’t mind losing to him!) to finish.
I spent Sunday with Greg Ellifritz and Bruce Cartwright, doing a speedloader/speedstrip loading course led by Ellifritz in the a.m. It was great to finally meet Greg. He’s a dude I respect, and I’ve read his stuff so long he feels like a family friend. I have run a revolver for several decades, but I still learned valuable stuff from Greg for loading loose rounds and using strips. I highly recommend this class, regardless of your experience level. Bruce ran a full class through some excellent courses in the p.m. as you described here, it was an afternoon well spent. Thanks to Bruce and his great help Will Cartwright and Jack Andenoro. Those dudes can work magic with their 4″ Ruger Security Sixes!
My Monday was similar to Mike’s, shooting Ellifritz’s 10 round proficiency test and the LAPD Combat Course with Mr. Dobbs. I got to shoot Bryan with a Y’s custom stealth .41 Magnum Blackhawk at steel at 50 yards- his handload made the hanging plate jump like it was electrocuted- good stuff! I got to attend Mike’s excellent presentation that afternoon. It was well delivered and informative, as you would expect from Mike. I enjoyed DB’s observations on Captain Frank Hamer’s crew in his Bonnie and Clyde presentation, too.
Rob Leahy is one of the class acts in the industry and it was a privilege to visit with him and meet his family. Their work was on display at the Round Up and available to purchase. I’m wearing one of their Sourdough Pancakes as I write this. Nancy from Wilderness Tactical made a point to bring stuff that the Pro Shop didn’t carry so they wouldn’t take business away from Gunsite. How cool is that? She sent me into the Pro Shop to buy one of their excellent dump pouches. She listened attentively to our suggestions on building a piece of kit for revolver folk. Her’s is also a family-owned business that has been turning out rock solid quality gear since the early 80’s.
I enjoyed shooting with Dave from Reno and Marshall Kear (Marshal is making a really cool kydex speedloader carrier) too. Getting to spend time with Mike and Rob (and his local crew Lindy and Aaron and family) was a bonus. These people were representative of the good folks attending the Round Up and the camaraderie present at the event. Hats off to AFR and all those that worked hard to make this event a success. I think Pat Rogers would approve. I hope I can go back.
Thanks for the great writeup, buddy! I think you captured the spirit of the event perfectly, particularly with your emphasis on the great people there. I really do think of this as a social event with some training added as a bonus.
I’m gonna have to work on my shooting, to keep pace with you and Rob and all the other Roundup marksmen–there’s some real shooting talent on display there!
The only bad thing about teaching at Roundup is that I don’t get to attend the classes as a student. I’d love to spend more time learning from Greg, Bruce, Wayne, Lew, Cecil, Chuck, Dave, Bill, and all the others!
Great write up dude.
I concur with all your points, especially how it sucks as an instructor we miss out on all the good stuff the other guys are doing!
I really enjoyed your lecture on Monday. Just as excellent as your Newhall one. My single regret is that I had to leave halfway through to head back home since I had to teach classes that day. Hopefully soon I can catch the rest of it sooner than later!
Thanks Cecil! I enjoyed our time together and really appreciated getting to sit down with you and talk shop. Every conversation with you is a learning experience for me. I look forward to sharing the rest of the presentation with you, because you missed the best part!
Great review! It is such a fun weekend, meeting old friends and making new ones.
I enjoyed your presentation, you did a great job.
I appreciate your inscription in my Newhall book and thank you for your service as well.
Thank you John, I’m glad you enjoyed it! It was good to meet you!
It was great to meet you; I enjoyed your “Three Gunfights” presentation.
I appreciate your signature on my Newhall book, and thanks for your service!
Excellent review of the PRMRR.
Thank you John, glad you enjoyed it! It was good to meet you!
Hello Mike;
That entire Revolver Roundup event was well worth the time, just as it has been for the last three up at Gunsite. I find that using a revolver really makes one think even more carefully about their course of actions, and how they are going to work their way through a problem given the issue of ammunition management. Reloading a revolver properly, and when exactly to do it requires serious training.
Your lecture on gunfights was quite interesting, and reinforced the need of good, experienced-based training. It was a highlight of the entire event, expertly presented.
Thank you again, looking forward to 2026!
SplitHoof
Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you got something out of it! I look forward to seeing you next year.
