BadShot

Makes good sense, thanks for the answer....

How could that be any faster? On the Ghost, the gun is clear of the holster in about 1/2 inch. That looks like it would a good 2 inches. I don't think that I could be any faster(or slower in my case) with either of them.

I have both the Race Master and the Ghost holster. I prefer the Ghost...

A forum should be set up for carry optics. The only thing that it has in common with open is the red dot. It's a large enough division to have it own forum.

70 bucks plus shipping. I put it on my 627 and took it to the range. The dot is much brighter in full sunshine. I had to have the glass replaced also from my carry optics gun induced damage. I have 2 v4's on my open guns. I'm not sure that I will send them in to be upgraded. Open guns seem to be not as hard on the optics...

I broke 2 DPP red dots and 2 RTS2 red dots in about 3000 rounds on my CZ SP01. Both manufacturers backed them up and my DPP has another 1200 with no further issues.

Good post. The only thing I would add is that the carry optics red dot scopes are still a weak spot.

I just got my RTS2 back from C-More. I had them update it to V5 while it was there. Dot does seem crisper, buttons now have a slight clicking feel, and it goes to sleep in about five minutes. It wakes up when you pick up the gun. If it holds up, I think it's a winner....

Hey Professor, Just a quick note to say thanks. I followed you article and finally finished my Accu Shadow. I wouldn't have tried it without your help. Trigger pull is now 1lb 15oz single action and 4.5 lbs double. Being as the gun was already a CZ custom, I was amazed by the improvement. Thanks again...

Will they be replacing them with something new or are they getting out of the open gun business?

We've had 4 new ones show up at our club this year. One had some ammo issues for a while. One of mine had issues with the mag release, which STI fixed. Now they all seem to be running fine. I'd buy another one...

I asked the president and my area coordinator about this in 2016. Both responded quickly and answered my question. Their responses are below. Sounds like they should now be open to talking about it by now. I think this was before they announced the higher capacity for CO. I pitched this to the board in January, and again unofficially since then. As of now, it is a no go. Email your AD for sure, so that I can get support for this. The driving factor was that we didn't allow anything without a reciprocating slide mounted optic on it. Thanks. Mike Skip, I completely understand the desire for not so young eyes to use a dot. The board did discuss this but felt the division needed to get settled in before considering a change like this. I am sure it will come up again and now that I know your thoughts...I will make sure it comes up again. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Sherwyn

I see some comps have a large port then a couple of smaller ports and some have a smaller port then larger ports. Does this affect your choice of powder and bullets? If so, how? Thanks

I really don't shoot rifles that much so I can't say. They really are nice for my open gun. I had a set of MSA's, which were fine for prod, but they weren't near as good as the Impact Pro for my open gun.

Look at the Impact Pro. They are 30db, auto shut off, use AAA batteries, and are about $60. I really like mine...

I mix up a 40/40/20 solution of Kroil/Hoppes #9/Slip 2000 carbon killer in a needle bottle. I put this in the comp and let it soak over night. The next day I put some Slip 2000 on one of these big q-tip gun cleaners and wipe it out. This will take out about 90%. Once in a while I use one of these brushes in my Dremel on the lowest speed. One of the local guys told me about spraying Dillon case lube in the comp before shooting, it helps too. I know it doesn't need all of this, but I'm retired and have some free time to tinker....

Mine was a CYF with no issues...

Which barrel on the CZCustom site are you talking about?

Gomar, Ankeny Ikes has IDPA 2 Thursdays and 1 Saturday each month. It's a long drive for Thursdays....

Hate to be negative here. I don't think it will bring in any new shooters. USPSA is now a high capacity game. Look at the growth in PCC and Carry Optics. I enjoy putting a red dot on my 627 and shooting open from time to time. I don't see me investing any more money so that I can now shoot major. I think revolver has gone the way of the manual transmission. There will always be some guys out there that like them, but I don't see a path for any growth.

I noticed at the Western State Revolver shoot there were 5 guys shooting open minor. I wonder if this a test to see if there is any interest...

I've got a new one coming soon was just curious....

Is this one of the newest ones with slide racker milled in to the slide? Did it have the new grip? If so, how did it feel to you?

I like mine. I use the 3 plastic trays and the aluminum for .380. Kind of noisy and dusty.

Just curious. If you are shooting IDPA, where you have to retain unfired rounds/moon clips, can you keep the revolver in your right hand to do the reloads?
