Anyone used one of these?

Both Midsouth and Midway are running specials on this rest. I was hoping that someone who has used one might give an opinion as to whether it's worth the price of shipping.

I've never had any luck- or repeatable results- when bench testing handguns with anything hard under the butt resisting the natural "roll" of the hogleg. Barrel resting never made much sense anyway; my repeatable (note I didn't say respectable, necessarily!) results came when resting the frame itself, ahead of the trigger guard, on a very padded rest or sandbags and simultaneously resting my forearms (not wrists or hands) on sandbags. Anybody got other ideas? I'd gladly accept pointers!

I rest forearms only on the bags when firing handguns from the bench.

My wife took a leg from a pair of jeans,sewed one shut,put a zipper on the other and filled it with kitter litter.I then lay it across my range box.Works just fine.

New kitty litter or USED kitty litter?

I've had one of these rest for the last 3 yrs. or so and have been satisfied with it. To me it took a lot, but not all of the human error out of pistol shooting when working up a load. I used it quite often until I bought a Ransom Rest this past spring.

Just do NOT use a sandbag to rest a revolver on! The cylinder gap can shred a bag in a few shots. Even a .22 rim fire pistol. I will rest the forearm of a contender on a padded front rest with MY fore arms on a bag or 2. When I use a Harris bipod on a single shot pistol, I put a strip of soft carpet under the feet. this SEEMS to reduce the jumping effect.
