A 115gr going at least 1100fps
What powder do you use?

What type of bullet weight/powder load would you shoot in your 929 to make the comp work effectively?
-
Talking 929 here. If a guy/gal, who does not reload, bought a 929 while planning on using factory 9mm, they would not be seeing the accuracy that the gun is capable of? I guess the same would go for someone that reloads 9mm, but doesn't use over sizesized bullets for existing guns. Just curious here, why would S&W make the barrel this way?
-
Craig, are you getting bit by the custom open gun bug?
-
Ssanders224, thank you.....

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...
-
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...

From Practiscore : The match will consist of 8 stages, with a minimum of 3 Classifiers.
So three of the eight stages are going to be classifiers?
No offense, but I'm not traveling to Nebraska to shoot classifiers. Give us running gun, I can shoot classifiers anywhere.
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.

Could you take the comp off and fire some rounds thru it to see what happens?

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...
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
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?
-
I got my classifiers in, renewed my ICORE membership, and signed up....

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...

So, who is planning on shooting this match?

Hey Ron,
Off subject here, sorry. You gonna shoot the ICORE match over at ENPS?
Skip
-
Do you think that ENPS will become an ICORE club and hold regular matches?
-
I've got 5 of them with no issues for the last 2 years.
-
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.

I vote no to any revolver changes. It’s fine as it is. There’s no glaring competitive differences in the game right now. Well, other than 6vs8, more on that below.
Let’s talk red dots. The largest separator of divisions. If dots become legal in revolver, everyone shooting revolver will need one to be competitive. Dots are a 10-20% advantage. That’s huge. We discussed this on here a few years ago the last time it came up, but the last thing we need is to add a dot to make revolver more exclusive, more expensive, and more segregated from the “new” competitor perspective.
Comps and ports. They don’t, in any division, have a measurable advantage on the clock. There are perceived differences, but not measurable ones. No one does .15 splits with a limited gun then .10 splits with their open gun because of the comp.
Minor vs major. Let’s discuss 8 shot guns first. Let’s say it becomes a thing. Like dots, it would be a necessity to be competitive. If everyone is shooting the same, major if it was legal, there would be no difference. So, if it was legal, now people who want to come to it have to get 357mag factory ammo, or roll their own, and still score the same as the next guy. Throwing out the current ammo situation the US is in, is there a more expensive competitive handgun ammo? So now we have a 1k+ gun, just as much in add-ons and gear, and they have to buy the most expensive ammo in the 355/357 range?
6vs8- no one makes a competitive 6 shot major gun. Smith made a 4”, all steel 625. The barrel needs another inch, preferably 2. It needs a titanium cylinder to not wear out regularly. Neither of these things were ever readily available. From that standpoint, I’m a huge fan of the 327/627/929 and now Ruger options, in the 2 most popular calibers in the world. I didn’t want 8 minor, and at that point I hadn’t even attended a nationals yet. Now I think it’s the best choice. There are steel shooters buying 929s to get classified in all the divisions.
Revolver is what revolver is. If you want to make it cool, attend nationals, the IRC, the steel challenge. Host an icore match, host an outlaw match, get on a plane and go to a revolver match so you can come home and tell your friends how fun it was. Get people talking about it. Show them how good the gear is, how much fun it is, how good the people are in it. It’s not going to sell itself.
Revolver is spec Miata, from the outside it looks slow and boring, but on the inside guys are working for every shift and braking zone and grinning while doing it.
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.

How much does it cost to replace a slide on an open gun. Nothing too fancy, but good quality pieces.
929 After Market Compensator?

I have some AutoComp and a lot of AA7, will AA7 work okay in a comped revolver?
