Damn, how did I miss the 2022 Western States Revolver Championship in Mesa az ? I guess it was on Friday. Anybody shoot it? https://practiscore.com/results/new/158922

...that thought putting a small flash hole in 9mm brass was a good idea? .

This guy gets me

The rear blade comes in different heights. I use a .196. Cheap, like 10 bucks. Midway sells the whole kit. You need a blade, screw, nut, pin and spring. Lots of videos on how to do it.

I like SDM, the fiber optic is bigger than the rest. I open the rear notch to .150 It give me a great sight picture.

The Bren Ten was a handgun made here in California that had fulfillment issues. It was a great idea, but the first guns shipped without a magazine. They could never secure the funding they needed to get production up to speed.

Thanks !!

Bren Ten ?

Speaking of planning ahead, I just booked a house in Arizona for April... ...of 2023. I hope Rio holds their Southwest Revolver match again.

So, does anybody have one yet?

Did I forget to mention it was a couple of smoking hot Filipinas ? (Relax, my wife's a Filipina)

I was at my local indoor range yesterday shooting my 627. Indoors sucks, but I'm a member so I go every week. There were a couple of new shooters next to me, whacking away with a Glock at three yards. They were safe, and doing well. They seemed impressed with the size of my manly 627 I gave them a few minutes of "orientation" on how to load it, unload it, and shoot it. I had them dry fire it a bunch of times. I never mentioned it was double action only, or that only weenies shoot revolvers single action. Then I loaded up a few rounds, and let them shoot. They both enjoyed it, and I felt good about introducing new shooters to revolvers.

Where and when will "open registration" be listed? Is there a link on practiscore ?

I tumble in walnut media, and haven't experienced that. I did it once just to see if it would work. I've got a thousand .38 short colt cases, and 30 moon clips. I try to fire all 1000 cases, then reload.

I've even tumbled them still loaded with empty brass. Comes out fine.

So you're saying to toss them in a tumbler without a care in the world, tumble them, wipe them down, and then use them? Yeah, that works for me too

Shooting a revolver single action is like kissing your sister

Regarding the pushbutton cylinder release on the Korth, I don't want my cylinder any easier to come out, I want it harder

Let's say you drive a Ferrari (I don't, I drive a Ford Pinto station wagon, but left say you did) and you went to pick up your grandkids. I'm sure a Ferrari is a fine car, but it's the wrong tool for the job. Same thing with a Korth and Man(thing I can't spell). I'm sure they're fine guns, just not the right tool for my job.

The more I think about it, the more I realize it's not the right tool for the job I'm doing. It looks close, but no cigar. If I needed a Torx driver, and somebody gave me an Allen wrench, it looks close, but no cigar.

Ok, here's my update !! One of the old guys I shoot with is a retired doctor, cardiologist I think. Huge gun collection. I told him about my feelings about Korths, and he said he had a few, and would bring one for me to try. Well today he shows up with a Manurhin instead. He goes on and on about it being the finest revolver ever made. I guess I'm not the target demographic. It's a nice gun, but again with a 9-10 pound double action trigger pull. Everybody that shot it, shot it single action... ...except me. I'm an ICORE competitor (or at least I want to be one when I grow up). I don't really get shooting revolvers single action, but different strokes. Maybe I'm looking at Manurhins and Korths wrong. Maybe it's not the tool for the job I have in mind, ICORE matches. Anyhow how, I told him how nice it was, and he was happy. Here's the Holy Grail. .

An 870 is a fine gun. If you enjoy it, that's all that matters. I've never seen a serious sporting clays competitor use a pump gun in a major competition, but I'm sure people do.

Again, in fit, finish, craftsmanship, and durability. It's simply a better made shotgun. If you're in So Cal you're welcome to shoot mine. My Krieghoff closes like a bank vault, my Brownings don't. It doesn't give you one more target broken, that's not how it works. If I used Tiger Woods' golf clubs, would I play any better? No way. Ever shot a North American Arms single action? I get why they cost what they do.
