    A rule change in the past killed 625 in favor of 929...

     

    ..... Oh, and the comp doesn't do anything except making the two 929s not fit the same DAA muzzle support for my RaceMaster. 

     

    And video killed the radio star.

     

    The factory chimp is useless. I had my barrel cut to five inches.

    1. A request more than a question, please mirror whatever the change is to be in alignment of IPSC rules. This way USPSA can send a prepared revolver team to the World Shoot. 
    2. Many revolvers with a red dot have comps or ports. Is the rules committee considering allowing comps & ports on the red dot revolvers?

     

    Makes sense to me.

  3. The Arizona State Revolver Championship was held today under sunny sky's and mild mid 70s temperatures. 

     

    Nine challenging stages, great RO's,  brisket and sausage for lunch, and no ten foot walls awaited shooters that made the trip to the Phoenix Rod and Gun Club, located at the base of South Mountain.

     

    Bob Border (the match director) really knows how to run things. We were done shooting by 12:30, lunch and awards by 2:00.

     

    I started off with a couple of mikes and a standing reload on a plate rack, and ended up with a mike on a tuxedo. In between I shot um, ahh, I had fun :)

     

    Here are the pictures I shot (no mikes). 

     

    It was a great match, and they're already planning next year's, and you should start planning too. 

     

    I'm still working on the videos.

    By the lacquer coating on the inside of the primers. A 100m Fed has green paper, 200m has a red dot. SR match has a purple coating, SR std has a small purple dot. CCI uses yellow paper, WW uses red lacquer for magnums. You guys really need to pay attention to this stuff. 🤣

     

    Thanks Rainman :)

    So you don't have any problems running the same loads in the 9mm as you do the short coalts.

     

    Me, no. They have very similar internal capacity. My two revolvers have the same barrel diameter even though one is .357 and one is 9mm.

     

    Smith uses the same barrel in the 627 and 929.

     

    Semi autos may be different.

  6. I load both 160 Blue and 160 Bayou in 9mm and .38 Short Colt in my 929 and 627 revolvers.

     

    OAL of 1.190 with 3gr of either Clays or Sport Pistol will make mInor in my five inch guns.

     

    Heavier bullets going slower have less recoil than lighter bullets going faster, for the same power factor.

    I've been a gun nut for 50+ years, bought, sold or traded literally hundreds of firearms, pistols, revolvers, long guns and shotguns. Competed hard for 25 years, autos and revolvers.  So I've had my share of playing with just about everything that was out there, and understand the intrigue with odd ball firearms .

      Which leads me to the question of, what is the real interest of the super GP Ruger? I can't see where it even meets, much less exceeds anything a S&W revolver is capable of? Is it just to have something different than what everyone else is running, or is there a feature or benefit to it over the Smith I'm just not aware of?

     

    Yes, thanks
