I am a big fan. Really looked forward to this season. First episode at least 10 people got killed. Duffy did a no sell when people got killed next to him. Serio comic deaths. It looked like they were just reprising everything that worked before all in one episode. Hope the creativity the show exhibited in the first 4 seasons survives. Hope they just don't wear out the old tricks. BEAUTIFUL women. My favorite show. PS..."Loretta" is now too old for her part. She has......progressed, and trying to make her look as young as her character doesn't really work even though she is a great little actress

I think if this was a plot to save JM's hands they would have come out with a steel gun

not to worry about barrels. they can now be replaced in limited, too. And if you are going to spend that much $, what is a little more?

1 second off for each shot fired prone. it has to happen

LOL, good point! I forgot that we would need to argue about this for the next several months. I am in favor of shooting it whichever way will give me an advantage and everyone else a disadvantage. I think this is the year for clothing optional

It was a necessary repair to mine (Apex Tactical). The cylinder throats were oversized and the cylinder itself was not trued.

8 shot minor will necessarily mean that the winner and one's relative position in a match will be dictated by course design. While in a major revolver match like a revolver nationals advantage can be negated, lesser more local matches and other major matches will not be designed with revolver in mind. Advantage 8 shot. The correct perception will be that you need an 8 shot to do your best. This will harm participation not increase it. I know one shooter that will switch to production and limited 10 because it is a flat table wherever you shoot

My answer to the "poll" is to ignore the nationals. It is already rigged in favor of those shooting the single stack match. You will notice that all of the super squaders did "risk" being tired during the one day revolver match. Now, the "in crowd" will have the advantage of knowing which gun to shoot

My guess is that allowing 8 shot revolvers would be a huge disincentive to 6 shot minor shooters if they had to compete directly against them

Actually they are relatively silent when no change is left out of the poll

i have had some luck with true blue. someone told me it is winchester 540, an old 38 super standby. Bud Bond suggested it a while back.

i have had trouble finding hammer noses

are the stages posted anywhere yet?

Bubber. Rog and Teddi made an appearance at Albany Oregon's NW Revolver Championships. Ask them how it went

Well, movement and course strategy are HUGELY important skill areas for the action shooting disciplines, aren't they? Let me add a few other items to the list: Drawing from various positions. Shooting from odd positions. Shooting on the move (different than mere movement from place to place). Reloading on the move. Engaging targets at various distances on the same array. Transitioning to multiple targets placed at various spacing on the same array. Drawing from various positions. Conceeded Shooting from odd positions. Nothing is odder to me than going prone Shooting on the move (different than mere movement from place to place). included in movement Reloading on the move. included in movement Engaging targets at various distances on the same array. Conceeded and important Transitioning to multiple targets placed at various spacing on the same array. Essentially the same as above

I would rather that. My experience was that it helped but not much, but I have terrible consistency problems. I practiced standard for two months last year prior to the match and it didn't help me all that much on the stage itself. In practice, I was able to have a first run of the day 18-20 in my last 3 practice sessions. At the match, I disintegrated at the 50 yd line, carried that mentally to 25, and didn't pull myself together until 10 yds and turned what should have easily been a safe 25 second score into a 39. What it did do though is get me very solid on reloads and accuracy in general and it got me lots of SHO/WHO practice. For the entire rest of the match I shot 6 B's, no C's and no mikes(excluding makeups in missed steel). Slow, but accurate. So in totality I think it was very helpful for me. I agree though, it would be interesting if it were something different. Other than movement, course strategy and moving targets I am at a loss to discern what skills are not covered in practicing the Near and Far Standards

J&G has them. Thank you.

J&G. Dawson has sights (along with Shooters Connection) and the extended mag release (look for STI GP6 parts). Blade-Tech and Comp-Tac make kydex for them (again, look under STI GP6). Mags are backordered like every freakin' other gun due to the doomsday panic... Sorry, I meant the gun. Bud's doesn't list them

My apologies, haven't been in the gun boards much in a while as the unfortunate and sad Newtown incident triggered enough nonsense from all perspectives to where IMHO there was more to avoid than to take in... That said, after shooting the K100 for a while (modded from the jump with DP sights and "big" mag release), that GM (no matter how much more skilled than you or I) is talking some BS, period. The K100 is very much like a polymer Shadow Custom w/ the SRT trigger. I f'ing love me some CZ's, I think I've installed 10 comp hammers on different ones and done most everything that can be done to make them rock, I got lucky enough to score and live with a newer Shadow with the CZ-Custom SRT mod installed too, box-stock the K100 trigger is in the ballpark with 'em without a doubt. Since the only way to get about the same DA/SA trigger quality of a K100 is to spend an extra $300 for the CZC SRT option after buying a $900 Shadow, I'd say the "poor man's Shadow" comparison is very fair, the Shadows are heavier pieces so they aren't the same animal exactly, but to me the trigger is really their "magic". Atually, for many shooters coming from lighter, quicker transitioning guns (like Glocks or M&P's), the K100 due to it's polymer, and subsequent lighter weight, may feel more to their liking... The pistol's design is really head and shoulders above what most are used to (including me) out of a factory "stock" gun, they're an unknown quantity and are still the "oddball" so there are haters, IMO the piece is legit. I really hope they can somehow manage to put one of them in the hands of a Stoeger or another "name" in the games to get the word out... these guns are currently THE sleeper in "pistol awesomeness" IMHO. MY favorite pistols for a while now have been 1911's for the crisp SA, Glocks for the bombproof-ness, and CZ's for the "best of both worlds" vibe; to me the K100 is a working hybrid of those 3 designs. Where can you actually buy one?

Where can you actually get one?

I've had this conversation a couple times with different guys in the last few days. I wish I just bought a brazos.... Guys, don't get depressed! Think big picture--this is exciting stuff for Revolver shooting in USPSA. Nats this year is going to be the Clash of the Titans! What is being obsoleted is six shot minor. What is happening is the division is starting to be run for the benefit of "the Titans" at the expense of the average shooter that pays the freight. Entry into the division will require a 625 or 627. Most of the 627s will be shot by people who already have and shoot 25s. It will not grow the division. Why not a poll of how many shooters are not shooting USPSA revolver and have 8 shot revolvers that they would shoot, if legal? Maybe a poll of 6 shot minor shooters that would drop out if 8 shots were allowed. You will never know how many will not enter the division because of the high cost of a competitive gun. Even the sycophants will eventually figure where the nationals concept and the allowance of 8 shots actually leads.

The division was rationalized at the onset as an entry level division where someone could get started in USPSA shooting one of the plethora of revolvers extant in shooters hands. The eight shot will blow out the six shot minor shooters. If you think there will be a net gain with the addition of 8 shots, go for it. It doesn't hurt me personally as I have 627s and 25s. My opinion is that you will mostly get a transfer from 6 shooters to 8 shooters by those who think there will be an advantage to doing so.

$100. I am pondering left or right side. I tend to shoot with my support thumb up and am concerned it will hit the mount when I get a high grip. The tip of my thumb is level with the frame with my normal grip. Lee Did you ever resolve this issue? It puzzles me, too. There have to be pluses and minuses. Are you right handed? Right or left eye dominant?

Present it to him your way and see if you get a different answer. I, personally, will hold off on the modification until it is cleared. I can see both sides of the argument given what has happened before

It's legal for USPSA production. I will wait for an official ruling. I remember the Langdon ruling.+
