Aside from this man’s expertise,
You can never go wrong with a Smith & Wesson.
These days they’d of hung an NFA charge on him for shooting a double action at a 600 rpm.

The timing devices of the era aren't precise enough to ever know if he was faster than Jerry Miculek or not.

I agree ..... We also can agree that for his era none could touch him. Also the accuracy he developed was mind boggling.
I noticed he has a K-32 .... It is nice to see these old guns. I inherited an outdoorsman .22 from my father . I believe the mfg date was around 1937 . The early models had a gold front sight This does not. . It has screw adjustable rear sights and is a 5 screw . frame . . It was not in pristine condition as my father carried it in a holster while trapping instead of carrying a rifle. . So there is ... Do we call it a holster blemish. ? .. Still the action is tight.
I will admit I am not so accurate with it. (I understand the outdoorsman was used in the Olympics ) My finger seems to be too big (against the trigger guard )when holding and shooting the handgun. . Still I cherish owning it.
