I just realized the 2018 Revolver National Match has not happened yet. I had assumed it was early in the year as it has been in the past. The Revolver Nationals is back with the other nationals all to take place in October as one big match. I did not realize you could see old issue of Front Sight online that is pretty cool, thanks! I did find the 2017 equipment survey in the 2018 Annual: https://uspsa.org/magazine/view//2018-00#page=40

Can someone point me to this? My Google-fu is letting me down. Thanks.

The biggest reason I don't shoot my 625 in IDPA is IDPA made 5-inch barrel revolvers illegal so rather than pay to cut it down or buy another 625 I just picked up a used $300 Model 10 to embarrass the bottom feeders with. I find my splits to be faster with minor vs major in either IDPA or USPSA. Especially on close in hoser stages. My standing reloads are only slightly faster with moonclips. My running reloads are much faster with moonclips fed revolvers but IDPA limits movement so much it does not seem to effect me that much. I have only attempted a reload with retention a few times in a match. It rarely goes well for me, never as good as when I practice it in the basement. But I have never been to a match that required it. Per the rules, can a stage force you to do a reload with retention on the clock? I didn't think so, but can't find a rule supporting or disproving that assumption. I definitely agree that moonclips are far more fumble/disaster prone than speed-loaders but my Comp III's have been pretty good to me so far.

They are the new OEM K/L frame grips some new S&W are coming with. IIRC those came off a 617. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Love moonclip fed revolvers but for IDPA I just run and old Model 10 Heavy barrel and Comp III speed loaders. With the bunny fart 105 PF, no more than two reloads on a stage (assuming you're not missing ) and the use of cover I don't see that a moonclip fed 155PF revolver as much of an advantage.

Interesting I was at shot and met Steve but did not see anyone else in his both. I need another one of his cylinder releases to set up another N-frame but can't find one in stock anywhere.

Need to order another California Competition cylinder release but it seems no one has one in stock and demooner.com seems to be gone/down. Anyone know what happened?

Dang, I was hoping there might be another option. Life's hard I will get over it. Thanks!

My RO Certification expired a bit over a year ago. I was changing jobs and states and in all the activity total missed and then forgot about my exam. This year rolls around and I realize I never got a notice to take the test and I look up my profile and WOW I am over a year past due. Totally my fault but is there anything I can do? I assume I will have to attend a RO class again to get re-certified? Is there any other way?

What about those that like to do it the hard way? So yeah the trigger will probably never be as nice as a good Smith but think about how soft the recoil will be with 38 Short Colt minor load in the humongous cast framed revolver.

What are the chances my 627 moonclips will work with this new Ruger? That would make this slightly more tempting.

That would be nice!

Revolver is dead in IDPA. I was the only one a few weeks ago and look back at that club (new to me) there has been only one other revolver shooter there in the last year or so. Let the 8-shot revolvers play in one of the other divisions.

I see that Speed Beez is now offering moon clips on their website. (http://www.speedbeez.com/product-category/competition-revoler-supply-moon-clips/) Does anyone know if these are a new design that they are manufacturing or are they simply selling someone else moon clips? Prices seem similar to Revolver Supply on the few version I compared. From the pictures they appear to be stamped rather than EDM moonclips. Options are always good.

After getting my Webley I started looking for a bullet to replicate the old Mk I load with. Some guys over at castboolits forum pointed me to Matt's Bullets (http://mattsbullets.com/) He offers four bullets specifically sized for the 38S&W and one of them is a replica of the 200gr hemispherical nose bullet used in the Mk I load.
