Any body competing with an LBR on the UK Circuit?

Looking for some recommendations! Particularly if anyone is running a S&W variant.

There's loads competing in comps, it's the old pistol scene reinvented for pistol caliber under leavers and 22 semi auto rifles,as well as lbr and lbp and open to odd stuff like or or even bolt action...the lbr scene is now a lot better,the taurus which most have had at some point is pailing in insignificance next to the Smith lbr now out there, Greg at rude fat dog should be able to put u in contact with a guy called John Robinson,who is making them in Germany and brings them in....unmatched quality..

sorry to but in but (too many buts) is the smith available in small calibres ? ie 22 and where can i find out about the comps ,postal ones would help the club we are trying to drag into the future

Agree with RM having had a Taurus and having had a wee play with the one's that JR is doing absolute night and day between them.John's one's are pleasure to use IIRC he does them in K and L frames .38,.38/.357.There is a premium to be paid for the smith lbr's as you would expect.

I’m going to go .357/.38. So looking into those calibre pistols.

So far I’ve seen the following in S&W offering

John Robinson?
Europa - Ballistic arms.

Any others?

Also looking for a head start on home loads etc? Are people using wad cutters or any other recommendations

Pretty sure merkle do an lbr also based on a smith action though even more expensive.

Europa arms is through Greg ,John Robinson lbr is in conjunction with Greg partially,I'm not sure if the Europa is still available? Greg will be able to clarify...yes Merkel is another and Wilson was gonna do one but has yet to churn one out....he has a Facebook page "John Robinson a shooting page" I think it's called

i had a reply earlier if its of interest

Most we sell these days are K Frame in. 38.We can supply L Frame. 38/.357 or N Frame models.
Carbon Fibre sleeved. Based on a new S&W frame price around GBP 3,200.00. 4 week delivery on. 38 K Frame and around 16 weeks on other models.

how much!!!

Try a Ruger Super Redhawk in either .44 or .357.....built to last
There's one on Guntrader at the moment
