I think the real goal should be for the BoD to listen to those who shoot the division and not those who don't.
And as we all know, trying to figure out who the BoD, as it is currently made up, does listen to is a fools errand, at best.

Thanks for proving my point.
You're welcome ?

It's not my narrative - just my observation. I've shot revolvers in both USPSA & IDPA. I have no distain for them or those who shoot them I just don't live in a delusional world where they are viewed as equal.

I've never seen outright hostility. There's plenty of ribbing back and forth, but most auto shooters secretly know they could never do that well with a revo.
No disagreement there Shred

As long as it's understood that the shooting world views those who shoot revolvers as a group that can never be happy and comprise a seriously small group that doesn't have any leverage, then it's all good.

I can't help but agree.
Do you think the USPSA BoD even has a clue? (They certainly don't seem to.)
That's one of the frustrating parts to this whole saga - how can they not ?
And yet, their actions indicate they don't. When this whole thing started, back with the removal of Mike Foley, my AD engaged with me when I expressed some concern. Now he doesn't even give a courtesy response ; no thank you, F you Kiss my ass, go to hell. Nothing.

The embedded assertion here is that lots of divisions is a problem, and I haven't yet heard a convincing argument as to why.
You must be new.

If anyone has been paying attention to the PCSL lately, they seem to have come up with an amazing solution to all these divisions.
I'm paraphrasing here but they will allow local matches to recognize anything that makes sense based on laws or members desire but only have national championships for a handful, I think it was 4.
So want to shoot Revo optics ? Or Open-10 because you are restricted in your state ? Go for it but unless they have several hundred wanting to compete at the Nats, that is as far as it will go.

What is everyone's opinion on the web meeting format ? I do like the transparency but it seems like some of the people participating are new to it and don't get the part where they can be seen and heard the whole time.

Reputable ? Yes
They have a history of selling things they don't have and taking forever to ship, or at least they did. I think they drop ship most stuff.

On a trip from Houston to Dallas I stopped at Able in Huntsville, TX and they had one on display I got to fondle.
It was very impressive. Extremely well made and the fit & finish was noticeable. I don't see the value but it was not a Taurus for sure.
If you can afford it, I think you'd like it. I shoot a Krieghoff and a Kolar for clays and most people would think both are way over priced and that you can get a gun that is just as good for half the price or less. That is true, but a Beretta, even a DT11, will never be Krieghoff.

I've found Federal brass with TK moon clips with Federal Small Pistol Primers work best in my 929.
Starline .38 short colt brass with TK moon clips with Federal Small Pistol Primers work best in my 627.
Thanks for the info - very helpful

I also believe that many are not aware that specific brass require a certain clip.
Please elaborate on this

Are you going to reload for it?
yes - and probably only ever shoot Steel Challenge with it and probably only once or twice a year for shiggles.

The 929 with MIM parts is way more expensive to tune that the older 627s with forged steel parts.
Best to find an older 627 before they added the trigger lock system and MIM parts
I'm sure that is great advice but not really helpful in my situation.
-
So I've bought a 929 because I wanted one.
I'm not overly interested in dumping a ton of money into it so I'm looking for a few suggestions on what to do to make it a little more shootable on a budget.
Trigger spring suggestions are most welcome but not really looking at replacing the hammer.

It's about time. Now maybe some SCSA shooters will take the course and stop using made up commands.
If you are done, please put that away before you hurt yourself

Just wanted to wish all of the people on the BE Forums a Happy Thanksgiving

Gun is fine. Just didn't know if I needed to be concerned preemptively
no need to be concerned, at least I wouldn't be if I was so lucky to own a CK Arms open gun.

Is the slide cracked ?

I'd bet it would be #1 only. 5.1.9.
BTW, no one is talking about banning holstered pistols. The discussion is about wearing one pistol while shooting another, or a long gun.
See, now that's where you might be wrong.
Option # 1 from @ZackJones post above reads "No holstered guns for any division for any stage." which to me indicates that when you walk to the box, you best not have your handgun in a holster on your belt.

# 1 or # 4
Wonder what a poll on USPSA.ORG would come back with ?
-
A lot of unknowns here so please take these suggestions accordingly.
I'd tell him thank you but to be quite unless it's a safety issue but that's just me.
Is the RO assigned to squad or stage ? if squad, ask for a different squad.
Ask another shooter who appears to know what's going on their opinion and maybe intervene for you.
And you can always talk to the Match Director and ask them.

I have used both the Giraurd Tri-Way and Power Trimmer.
The end result is the same but the Power Timmer is less tedious for large numbers.
I think the WFT is similar to the Tri-Way being both are motor/drill mounted.

This post has got to be include in the Best of BE.
First, we have the audacity of the OP on full display. He clearly has no idea where he is. Glorious I say, Glorious.
Next, we have some long time members trying to help him out. OPs second post was pretty good. I almost bought it for a second. Thought for sure they Mods were about to drop a hammer. Waiting with baited breath I was.
Then the Mods come in and show amazing restraint. I thought for sure they step on themselves and then step in a pile too but they didn't. The OP even dared them to. Ballsy for sure. I think someone has hacked their account TBH.
And then, just like it started, it was over.
Bravo Gentlemen, Bravo!
