There is a rule that all safeties that the gun was designed with must function. However, there is a caveat. if you have a series 80 frame and slide you must have the series 80 parts in it and functional. if you have a series 80 frame but non-series 80 slide you can put the spacer plate in the frame and it will pass. if you have a series 80 slide only it will pass.

I highly recommend Warrens addition to the Hogue holster. once a firearm is locked in a hogue the only way to get it out is to unlock it. best on the market. Both Syd and Louis use hogue holsters dcs

the rule book does not specifiy some target heights on some courses of fire and does on others. most use 6ft to top. The practical lists 6ft to top as does the speed load challenge. all others but plates have no such requirement.

When I was ICORE Chairnan IDPA changed their standards regarding 625's. I saw the need to have a L6 Division to give those 625 owners a place to play and pushed for this division. It has worked out well. I shoot a 627 and 625 and compete against different people in each division in the same match. I could not hold my own shooting an open 627 against Mark Itstein or even Ryan McQuilty. so I go where they don't play.

double stack guns must use 38 super comp brass or feeding problems will occur. the head is rebated slightly on super comp. therefor extractor tuning is critical for proper function. That said with proper maintenance and tuning they run fine.

I make the spring tester sold by brownells and dillon. it is not so much about a magic combo unless you are creating loads for a specific function. too light a spring will produce frame battering and too heavy will not let the pistol function correctly. well used springs need to be checked to verify they are not weakened. Our Bianchi guns have 7 lb recoil springs and 14 lb mainsprings in order to function. In a nutshell if you use factory loads in a factory gun it might not be that important. If you are creating a load to shoot 1/2" groups at 50yds. it might be. David

you don't have to shoot major in limited 6 at the IRC

not you being hacked but the server who holds ICORE data.

I would be leary of that. when I was membership dir we used a different processor. I was just making sure that someone did not hack the processor or link info we used before.

what was the link? Just curious

I use the Lee FCD on 9mm and 38super. you want the crimp to be just tight enough to hold the bullet. if you pull a bullet and it has a ring indented on it you are crimping way too much. I have even used it on 38 short colt with lead bullets.

cool

I do believe that the bylaws allow write in votes and there was no opportunity to do so. As for membership yes I am not a current member. However, that does not preclude me from being concerned that the board had not followed the bylaws which have been filed with the IRS under the provisions of of a 501C3 org.

Did anyone get a ballot for the current Board? Elections were supposed to be in Apr to May. New board to take office July 1. I know of no one who got one.

you should always use roll crimp on revolver rounds. they help keep the bullet from moving while shooting. taper crimps don't keep the bullet from moving back unless you crimp really hard and then the accuracy goes away.

I made a set for Louis for the 2014 Worlds. they clamped around the barrel. His barrel was/is a carbon fiber Volquartsen. I can maybe send pics David

Mel Chan is the Membership director (I think) look at web site to find out.

38 super body dia. .384 chamber dia. .3887 9 x 23 body .3911 Major dia. .381 Min. dia. Chamber .3921 Major Dia. .382 Min dia. These are from the SAAMI Drawings. David

Dean, It used to be on the Icore website under classifiers. If you can't find it let me know and I might have it. I do know the targets are 1ft edge to edge. and are touching on the top and bottom. However I do not know the distance from the ground. 18" I think. any higher and you could be shooting over berm???. shooting distance is 3yds, 7yds 25 yds and 50yds or 7 yds, 15 yds 25 yds 50 yds ????

Bianchi scoring is points and X count. I have seen some scoring systems not take the x count correctly. I know that Practiscore had the mover scoring at the Trijicon Match but I never used it. I will email ken and ask about that. dcs thanks for the info I missed Andy at the Cup. He had an issue at the Aggregrate match and then went home. I will talk to him.

practiscore to my knowledge does not have a true Bianchi scoring system. I may be wrong. I have written a scoring program for use on line with real time score display. I am in the process of prettying it up. david

NRA is absolutely the worst on getting classifications updated. Sydney has been shooting Master scores for awhile but us still listed as Expert. As former Chairman of ICORE i know how classifications are handled and the importance of keeping current. Classifications are easy to calculate and the scores input can be done online. NRA is so far behind the times it is scary.

Which site did you go to? the direct link is Here We were backordered the site did not reflect that just that it was not found. Parts are in stock and available for shipment Sorry David

The rule book was screwed up by the printers not the NRA. They sent a pdf and in the layout, printing, collating and binding was screwed up. This is the first time that they are printing rule books with 2 disciplines back to back instead of one book for each discipline. dcs
