I shot a beautiful six inch original Python today...
almostold replied to ysrracer's topic in Revolver Forum
Back in the day (30-40 yrs ago) the python was a beautiful and expensive gun that needed work not unliked every s&w (back then or today) - tho what i understood the python needed a bit more finesse than a s&w - so to make it right you (may choose to) get it tuned by someone like Jerry Moran who could do that work extremely well. I dont doubt todays version would be the same. -
Apex did a ‘full build’ on my 627 when i bought it. I was very happy with their work. Pinnacle went completely through the gun about 2yrs later. Mark improved fit and function throughout. Very impressive. Most recently BC Armory replaced the stock barrel with a shroud/Shilen match grade bbl. For no other reason than i just wanted something different. Bruce did a great job. Looks good and very accurate. But FWIW if I had to pick one it would be Pinnacle.

Obviously this is a budget PCC but is it a worthy starting point to improve on as I can afford? -

Looks like the four pounders lasted all of seven minutes but they still have one pound bottles. In the past I've noticed that powders that sell out quickly become available sporadically for a day or two after it initially sells out. I guess Powder Valley keeps some in reserve to keep from "over-booking" the initial rush. I had 8 pounds of it today right up to the point when they called me and said they sold more than they had...

Thoughts on the Double Alpha holster? Best Moonclip holder?
almostold replied to 3gunnah's topic in Revolver Forum
I ran the DAA for two seasons but just switched to CR. CR feels more consistent in the draw and a simpler design. And I just switched to NM from the speed-e-rack as the magnets don't hold the thin stainless moons too well - they fall off with aggressive movement. I also prefer the more centered location of the NM on the belt. Good luck. Have fun. +1 BMT -

2014 Ohio Match

"The biggest problem I saw guys having with the door was their feet. I couldn't count how many times I saw the shooters feet stop the door from opening all the way. But it was enough to activate the targets." Or stop the door with their left knee... I got the 'black&blue' to prove it! Ugh. But I too have to say that this was one heck of a match - stage designers and management ya done real good! -
38 Short Colt, 158/160gr bullet, Tightgroup. Will it work, where to s

I have the same issue with my newly installed Ti cyl. I'm guessing rough chambers - dull tooling? I'm hitting them with polishing compound tonight. -

almostold replied to mcb's topic in Revolver Forum
Just recd my order today - sized .357. I ordered .358. The SNS I have measure .357 so I'll see how they compare. FWIW: Avg weight of ibeji is 159.9 w/high of 160.9 and low of 157.9 - spread of 3.0 with 20 weighed. SNS avg 161.3 w/high 162.9 low 159.6 - spread of 3.3 with 20 weighed Ibeji appear slightly better cosmetically - completely round nose (no flat tip) and zero flashing. Both will be over chrono and grouped tomorrow with n320. BBI should arrive soon. So far Barry's 158's are not grouping well out of my 627-3. -
Did you happen to ask someone when they will start shipping...?

I do like the idea of wet tumbling but there is no way I'm taking the time to de-prime my brass before I clean them which leaves moisture in the primer cup. Short of baking each batch, I see this as a deal killer for wet tumbling without de-priming. Am I missing something here?

From my recent 650 / 38 short cold experience, I had to use the 9mm flare/funnel - the 38spl is too short to flare properly -
I talked with my dealer today - the SW rep was in last Friday - nothing really exciting to report: No production date known No introduction date set (this might happen at SHOT) Guns will be allocated by reps to largest dealers first (my dealer has a number of them on order but has only two allocated at this time) Nothing mentioned about possible shipments in March/April as others here have suggested. Like I said, nothing too exciting but thought I would pass it along anyway.
