  1. I thought the match was great. Nice straight forward test of skills, good people, and done by noon. It's been quite a while since I shot a revo only match. Big thanks to everyone who made this happen...
  2. My issue with the DPP was too small of a dot and when shooting with the sun in your face, it looked like there were 2 dots. The 6 MOA should fix the first issue. I wonder if anyone else had that issue...
  3. I'm a bit disappointed in the stages. But, it's their first ICORE match that I've seen there and I'd like to help get it off the ground.
  4. Could you take the comp off and fire some rounds thru it to see what happens?
  5. I got my moon clip saver this morning. I had 11 moon clips to fix. 9 of them went smooth as can be, some required 4-5 of the required pressing down. 2 of them required all of that and some tweaking of the prongs with a pair of needle nosed pliers like Mike mentioned. But all of them now go thru my moon clip checker, which has much tighter tolerances that my revolver. Very good product that works just like everyone said that it would. Again, thanks for your input...
  6. I now have 13 moon clips that need help. So, I have ordered the moon clip saver from TKC. I'll report back on my progress. Thanks for all of your input.
  7. Has anyone tried TK Custom's moon clip saver tool? I have about 10 moon clips that I just can't get quite right and was wondering if this could do the job.
  8. I had a 627, bought a 929 and set it all up but found that I liked the 627 better. The gun itself was nice. But it was things like finding bullets that worked, brass that worked, cleaning the 627 was much easier, the BMT moonclip loader for the 627 was easier to use. Now that I can't use iron sights, the longer barrel is less use to me.
  9. If you were starting from scratch and were going to buy an 8 shot revolver for competition, what would your choice be? Would you stay with what you have now or switch to a different gun/caliber?
  10. I got my classifiers in, renewed my ICORE membership, and signed up....
  11. I took a break from shooting my open gun last night and shot my revo for a change. I can see why most people don't shoot them anymore. It's hard. You have to break down stages different from anyone else. Sometimes, you are you to have to make 8 shots without a miss or face a standing reload. They are hard and slower to reload. It's hard to blaze away at close up targets like an auto. Instead of being in the top 3rd of the standing, I was in the bottom 3rd. I wish they had never started showing combined scores in the first place. On the opposite side of things, it was a blast. I'm looking forward to shooting ICORE at the end of next month...
  12. Hey Ron, Off subject here, sorry. You gonna shoot the ICORE match over at ENPS? Skip
  13. Do you think that ENPS will become an ICORE club and hold regular matches?
  14. I've got 5 of them with no issues for the last 2 years.
  15. I get those occasionally, my CZ doesn't seem to care and shoots them just fine. If it was my open gun I would put them in the practice pile.
  16. Very good points. I don't mind shooting my 627 with a dot in Open, it's just for fun for me. Just throwing this out: If a dot makes a gun 10%-20% more competitive, why not allow 625's to have a dot? Maybe even allow them to shoot minor, but to be scored as major. A 5-inch minor 625 would be really nice to shoot. It might help make up some of the 2 round disadvantage.
  17. How much does it cost to replace a slide on an open gun. Nothing too fancy, but good quality pieces.
  18. I have a couple of STI DVC open guns in 9mm. 1 has 7500 rounds and the other about a 1000. No issues at all. There are 4 other STI open guns at our club, so far no issues. I email STI and asked them if they would continue to honor their warranty and they said yes. We shall see. I sometimes wonder if some of the issues with the bad guns came from the owners modifying them, especially with steel grips.
  19. I'd pick up an Anderson's or Stoeger's book on dry fire drills. You can make big gains without firing a shot. They will help with all aspects, including trigger control. Good luck to you...
  20. On the same gun? How many rounds? When the comp breaks, where do they break? I have about 5k on my DVC open and I'm not sure to watch for. Thanks
  21. After you have cataract surgery, aren't your eye focused to distance only? Since there is no lens to focus up close, how do you see the iron sights? I had my surgery and have 20/30 left and 20/20 in the right, but I can see irons unless it is bright and sunny. Just curious as to how this works, thanks.
  22. So, how would you handle magwells, race holsters, magnets, and equipment positioning with these combined divisions?
