Put JM grips on my L and N frame revolvers hoping they would make me nearly as fast as Jerry.....well that didn't happen !
But they fit my hand much better than the finger groove rubber grips that came from the factory.
Springer has a black one piece guide rod in stock....stainless is out of stock at this time.
Purchased one for my 5.25 Elite (in stainless) a while back with standard spring...works great.
Did a test with my 929 a few years back with different bullet sizes.....356, .357, and .358. They were all 147 gr. RN coated bullets loaded with the same powder and OAL. The groups got smaller as the bullet size increased.
At the three clubs where I shoot we use both.....don't have enough pasters to go around.....we also use black and white tape for the hard cover and no shoot targets.
With that "said" I'm a bit surprised.....but not really that shooters would only clean after an equipment failure. That opens a box of questions ????
I was taught that cleaning was part of shooting . My teacher held 9 national records during his life time. Thanks Dad !
I've been an RO for the past 5 years and have worked both local matches and level 2. I feel it's my way of helping support USPSA and the two local clubs where I shoot.
If a CRO seminar became available in my area I would more then likely take it. We can't all be just shooters...we need RO's and CRO's for the sport to continue.
