Some quick thoughts: The larger the caliber the quicker the reload, .45s are very forgiving. Practice your reload until it is second nature, any position any enviroment. (Also a hail stone under the star can really mess up a stage) The best grip (or stock) is what works for you. Get the best moonclips you can, and keep them straight. A smooth clean trigger pull is vastly more inportant than a light one. Rhythm is everything. Do everything you can as smooth as possible, speed will come from that. You can't miss fast enough to Win! Just some random thoughts.

It's been part of the IRC for Many Many Years I am sure it will be until somebody zeros the stage.

You have the yardage right, Target arrays are usually seperated by 1'6" (According to an old copy of a ICORE classifier I have laying around.)

Just a bit late sir.

Well I'm sure it makes MAJOR, but can you make a head shot with it at 25 feet? How 'bout 2500 feet?

Jerry's record of 12 shots in 2.99 seconds was timed from first shot to last shot. Not actually a full "El Prez" with 3 targets and starting hands above shoulder facing away from target. He did it with a 625 (.45 ACP with moons). Target used was a NRA D1 at I believe 5 yards, there were of course 12 holes with the grouping spread vertically rather badly.

Is that a modified Weaver "stance"? This could bring a whole new meaning to "magnum eyebrow"!

Seems to me it's just a pic of a standard range prop right?

For the most part he couldn't find you before you moved much less now.

Bubber I thought Vic swore you to secrecy about this story!?

Viggen - Not the gunsmith Send the frame to Smith, they can fix it. Most gunsmiths don't have the tooling or (frankly) skills to fix and fit the Hammer pivot pin and associcated bearing races etc. (Edited by SmallPaul at 8:03 am on Feb. 4, 2003)

Rich is right about .45 moons but otherwise this might be what you are looking for. https://tp-commerce.techpro.com/moonclips/s...clip+Saver+Tool

Dave The Cup Challenge retains the revolver by gripping around the cylinder, this is fairly secure, not foolproof but close. Usually the "front sight guard" will also catch a revolver that is slipping out of the holster, even a 5" in a 6" holster.

Quote: from phara on 9:31 am on Jan. 23, 2003 Patrick, Re: power drill chamber cleaning. I did try this once on my model 66 with a power drill and stainless steel chamber brushes from Brownells. The 38/357 chamber brushes are exceedingly tight!!! So when I ran the power drill the chamber brush shaft first corksrewed and then snapped off. All of this in a heartbeat, leaving a hard to remove chamber brush lodged in a chamber. I couldn't believe this was the normal state of affairs so I tried it again and guess what? Of course I had another snapped off, stuck chamber brush. Could it be that people are using bore brushes instead of chamber brushes to do the power drill operation since they would not be as tight in the chambers? This time, I'll wait to find out! Paul (Edited by phara at 9:36 am on Jan. 23, 2003) (Edited by phara at 9:59 am on Jan. 23, 2003) Not sure from your description if you have the drill rotating before you insert the brush or not. If you just stick the brush into the cylinder and then try to get the brush to turn I can well understand why you had "busted brushes syndrom", try inserting an already spinning brush and see how that works.
