Check with your dealer of choice. Transfer fees range from $20-50 and shipping is based on ultimate destination. Long guns are typically more than pistols. the last few transfers I did were in the $50-80 range after xfer fees and shipping.

The SIT Spartan my wife shoots is .5-.7 oz under and my PM-9 is about 1oz under with trip mags

Im here but have not had a chance to reflect and respond. Humble pie does not taste like it used to :/ . I've been busy chasing my kids around for the little time I had off over the holiday weekend. I don't get many holidays off working in the shipping industry. I appreciate all your insight, ive been looking at it and over thinking too much. Looks like I have to go back to basics and focus on the fundamentals a bit more than I thought I would.

racquet ball comes to mind, and really any other sport that involves explosive movements/transitions and hand/eye coordination.

I picked up a S&W PC 625 from a forum member here just before queen joyce changed the rules on me. I finally got around to working up some loads and putting in some practice at the range. I am not new to shooting REV, I have been doing so for 4 years now, though with my GP100. My 625 is shooting POA/POI at 7 yards off a rest (as it should easily) but when I shoot it at my normal speed, I am about 5-7 in low and I am at a loss as to why. I am pretty in tune with my mechanics (movement science major). I had another member at the range take a video of me shooting and it appears that I am not dropping my hands, I don't feel like im slapping the trigger, and I don't think I am torqueing my hands down during the follow through. below is a pic of the target I shot, red circle is from the rest, green circle is freestyle, and the yellow dot is my POA. I am going to try and get a video posted too Thanks in advance for your insight

everyone is used to shooting their mouse fart loads out of their XDm 5.25's, Glock 34's and M&P Pro 9's, why would they want to shoot compacts and have to deal with all that additional recoil I mean they probably carry LCP's and BodyGuards anyway. (joking) The last match i shot at my local club had 9 of the roughly 90 shooters shoot CCP, 3 shot rev, one shot BUG and the majority were in SSP/ESP

Bill, I found that shooting the revo made me a much better semi-auto shooter. I still kept the revo mindset when it comes to stage planning and sight picture before breaking each shot. Im an EX SSR shooter hoping to get MA this year. It will take a little bit of time to make the transition back to SSP/ESP, but your splits and transitions will come once you get in to the grove of things and get a few practices and matches under your belt. The hardest part for me when i shoot a bottom feeder is remembering that i can shoot 10 rounds before i need to reload. just remember a slower -0 beats a fast -3 more often than not

I just took delivery of BIllR1's beautiful 625. the thing just shoots and now im all depressed because IDPA hates me. Im a 3 years SSR shooter that, at my last classifier was border line SS/EX shooting a lowly GP100. I was planning on making a run at SSR MA then switching to shooting ESR. I can tell you that at my club, i can keep up with most of the MA's on my first 6 shots and i typically finish inside the top 25% of 80-110 shooters at out monthly matches. Personally, If IHQ's biggest reason for eliminating ESR is to hand out a few less "participation trophies", then they need to amend the rule on handing out awards, its a rather simple fix. Its rather disheartening to know that my membership and match fees are worth less than someone shooting SSP with their hi point. This just screams slippery slope to me, first ESR, then SSP, and then CDP will be on the chopping block as the division with the lowest participation, will Bill Wilson be able to save it? keep in mind, most of this is tongue in cheek. My three requests to IHQ are rather simple for eliminating ESR: What are going to do to promote the lone revolver division and help it grow? Revo Nats? Revo regional championships? Would you limit CDP to 8 rounds and allow ESR legal revolvers and open CDP to allow .40, 10mm, .45, etc? Would you limit SSP to 10 rounds and allow 8 shot .357/38spl revolvers to compete with 105pf ammo in SSP? I feel this is a better way to give revolver shooters a chance to still play in IDPA and take advantage of the latest designs. I personally would love to shoot a 627 in SSP. But i know this is just a dream.......

Im shooting the Apex FSS kit w/poly trigger too. Its really close to a factory 1911 trigger. If you go this route, make sure you have a "new" sear housing that uses the 1/8 in sear spring and detent. I had an old style housing that used the 1/16th spring so i had to order one of the "new" sear housings to make the kit work.

FWIW, my 124gr 135pf loads out of my M&P Pro 9mm were shooting roughly 128pf out of my wifes USPc 9mm. She has never had a problem knocking down steel with good hits.

i bought my wife a spartan and up graded it as time and money allowed. It is a great gun for the $$. I had some issues with feeding early on but STI paid for shipping there and back and make the gun right on the first trip back. Accuracy has been great with factory ammo and my reloads. for me, parts drop in but the fit has not been ideal. i have a small gap between the bottom of the frame and the magwell i put on it. other than that, its been great.

i see it about as much as i see .357 sig, which is not very often.

the state and regional IDPA matches i have been to all cost between $85-$125, so an extra $50 for a national level match with the best shooters is not to expensive to me. when you compare it to Single stack national, S&W revo nationals at $200 a pop, Bianchi cup starts at $275, Steel Challenge starts at $195 and does not include a shirt, given the big picture for all of the shooting sports national level events, IDPA seems to be in line with the rest.
