I have two holsters for my P-85, a Fobus and an army issue Bianchi M12. Not for everybody but the M12 fits it perfectly.

I still prefer the original P85 (which I have) and the P89.

Yep, posting it on the Internet should help you forget! :D

Mine is a New Model. I've found it to be very accurate, enough that with it scoped, I have taken coyotes at 150(+/-) yards.

Hmm... Sort of like the 9MM Federal.... :)

I am a big fan of Ruger Single Actions but that is one DA that I could get used to. I could even live with the gold. So is the 5.56 Armalite the same as 5.56 NATO?

My .30 Carbine Blackhawk is one of my favorite revolvers. I scoped mine; helps me make use of its accuracy out past 100 yards. It does have some muzzle blast that is noticeable, especially at dusk, with some ammunition but I think that it's reputation as a flame thrower is somewhat exaggerated...

I like them both but prefer the bull barrels. I have yet to find any ammo that my two will not shoot. Now I need to add a MkIII. Standard MkII Target

I still enjoy shooting my original P85. It is not the most accurate 9mm that I own but it is accurate enough. Plus, I have big hands and prefer large handguns.

Heh, wife, sisters; makes perfect sense to me.

I know that you weren't necessarily asking me but... In my experience, my 422 was acceptably accurate (enough that I would like to have another) but it was not as accurate as my two Ruger semi autos. Besides my old tapered barrel Standard and my bull barelled MkII Target, I also have a Sig...

I had a 6" 422 with adjustable sights and wooden grips that I bought in '87 or '88. I really liked it. I agree that it wasn't quite as accurate as my Ruger Standard or MkII Target but better than a plinker. Mine was stolen when my house was broken into in 1990, otherwise I would still have it...

My .30 carbine Blackhawk is a New Model. With 90gr XTPs it is a coyote (and dirt clod) killer.

You did get a great deal. What I can't understand is that none of his sons wanted them. My kid would have taken those in a heartbeat!

For the first couple of years that I had my SBH scoped I used a Bushnell Trophy variable scope and a B-Square mount because I didn't want to drill and tap my revolver. After several rounds of 300gr XTPs the mount would need to be retightened. I also found that I rarely used the scope turned up...
