Does anyone know (yet) if the twin sear parts of the newly introduced GTS, which has the frame mounted safety that also works as a decocker, can be installed on the 92x Performance.

That music is weird?
These are some of the lyrics
I guess it's supposed to be an homage to Jerry.
"Twista Miculek, I'm fully in effect, I break a record
When I get the revolver, 8 shots in a second
Like Jerry, I bury opponents when kickin' the rhymes
6 shots, reload, repeat, now what's the time?
Twista Miculek, I'm fully in effect, I break a record
When I get the revolver, 8 shots in a second
He shoot, I spit at 2.99
Seconds and we got the competition falling behind"

When is part 2 coming out?
Part2 (The Training) came out last week, it looks like a 327 TRR8 in 9mm, the record attempt would be in October, that's what Jerry says in the video.

What grips are these, I like the that it covers the backstrap.

I’m jumping way ahead but maybe a scandium frame titanium cylinder 10shot 22lr would be the next “season” of The Record.

You sir, are an amazing inspiration.
Just a humble suggestion, you're doing just great with your halo bolt racker. Have you tried the Power Custom or Midwest Industries bolt racker ? Maybe you can use your belt or a table with these. Maybe it's easier on your left hand too, than the "ring" on the halo.

Todd is pretty active on Facebook, maybe try to send him an IM there. Tell him that we're looking on this website for his feedback too

The Browning SA-22 is "tube fed", but the tube is in the stock and the "loading gate/port" is on the side of the stock, right ?

Anyone here see this yet ? Any news/info ? I'm sure TGO knows a thing or two
I saw it on a Facebook post by The Shooter's Mindset

You can look for it on Practiscore too.

June 3-5 Michigan State Steel Challenge at South Kent Sportsman's club, Dorr, MI.
Last year, we had over $10,000 on the prize table.

I appear to have missed the boat with my getting my 3D printed ones ready for sale, a bit! I haven't quite worked out how to keep them from breaking under the shock of the cylinder moving backward—even shooting ~130PF loads exclusively, they don't last for more than a thousand rounds or so.
Did you try it on the GP100 22lr ?

But you still have to control and manipulate the gun, and that's where mass comes into play. Otherwise, everyone would have 10-shot X-Frames by now
.
10-shot Scandium X-Frame with 38SC/9mm titanium cylinder could be close to a 627/929 weight, no ? while we're discussing in the vicinity of 627s, 327s.

Not to hijack the thread, but this one is interesting too. Does anyone know the details ? All it says on the post is that a Japanese shooter used it back in 1991 and returned with it.

Edit: A comment on the post a couple of pages below shows this revolver and says "Former Gun photographer Ichiro Nagata designed this gun in early 90’"

I'm sure you know, the serial# is printed on that side

The kit will probably be in the $200 to $250 range, I don't know what my cost will be yet, so can't set a firm price. I will be making them myself to start with, so if I get a lot of orders right off the bat, it will take a while to fill them all.
Do you need buyers to sign up and maybe put down a deposit so you have a clear quantity of "first batch" to build ? I'm sure you'll get a decent bunch of us to do that.

I wonder if the trigger mechanism can be modified to kind of a "short stroke" system to reduce the trigger pull length, like they do with maybe a Colt SAA or Winchester lever gun and clones where the geometry of the parts is modified such that they work the action with a shorter arc of movement for the shooter. I may not be saying it right, but you know what I'm referring to.
I hope someone comes up with one for the Ruger (and/or S&W), or maybe they already did and my google foo didn't bring it up. Surely, I can't be the first one to think of something like this. -

To me the biggest difference coming from a Smith to the Ruger is the length of the trigger pull, the Rugers is longer by a fair bit, this is not so much a issue while pulling, but it can become a issue when resetting the trigger, coming from the shorter Smith trigger its real easy to short stroke the Ruger
If one's shooting style is to release the trigger finger all the way (I know, amateur rookie) then that wouldn't be a factor, right?
I have a GP100-22lr and a S&W 617 and I don't feel the trigger travel is that different, except for weight of course. I shot the GP100-22lr in a rimfire match and the very tip of my trigger finger was bruised from hitting the sharp(er) edge of the Ruger trigger guard where it meets the frame by the grip, I do need to check my grip and trigger pull technique. -
DS10 speed loaders are the other option.

Dave is a great guy too.
The good thing about revolvers is that the ammo doesn't have to cycle the action so more ammo works well in revolvers than in semi-autos.

I don't have the balls to do that to my modshot. I do like that butt stock. That is a short barrel, looks less than the typical 16 inches;
What is the 'thing' mounted on the rail ( silver ) ?
I first want to say that I may have inadvertently violated forum rules by posting a website of a vendor. I am in NO WAY connected to that website/vendor. I've sent a note to the mods asking for forgiveness already. My intention was to purely suggest a way to lighten the chassis.
Having said that, the silver thing is a non acoustic timer according to that website. They're a company out of Germany.

Mine is a work in progress right now.... playing with different things to go lighter than my 2019 gun which is around 3lb 11 oz ..... this one is currently 3lb 5 oz...
If that ModShot chassis is "Swiss cheesed", maybe it'll save some weight ? no ? Kind of like this.

I’ll do you one better. You can shoot it after the IRC on Sunday.
Thank you for the offer, I will have to take a rain check. I wish I was going, I don't shoot at anything beyond local club matches yet. Hopefully some day

There’s a few threads about this, but the short version is that ports vent gas off so that there’s less perceived recoil since there is less gas (and mass) following the bullet out the barrel. These are usually most effective somewhere around 2-4” in a revolver.
Alec, hit us with a picture of effective ports.
Compensators collect the gas in a chamber, let it expand, then force it up to fight against rise.
Ports reduce felt recoil, comps oppose muzzle rise.
Here’s a properly compensated gun:
Would you please post more picture of this
It looks too good for just "spy shots"

I had a dream

I don't know about "big", but maybe realistic.
How about an L frame, Scandium (lite), 10 short 22lr, maybe Aluminum or Titanium cylinder (dream big ?), with a sleeved (327 like) barrel, 6inch. They've made a 386, I'm sure they could re-use that.
