I see moon clipped guns are all the rage, and while I have a M1917 Colt, its more of a sentimental piece than something I'd like to shoot at a competetive level. A while back as a young man, I got myself a 5" 629 as a b-day present. I realize IDPA has since restricted barrel length to 4" but as I understand in some places (USPSA? sorry not good with the acronyms yet) barrel length can go to 5"
Is it doable to complete with this beast? I'd pull a true Dirty Harry and load 44 special (I'm Crazy, but not THAT crazy....yet!). I really like this gun and there is something about pulling out the biggest (yes I realize it isn't anymore) baddest revolver out and being able shoot correctly. Slow fire, I am really accurate with this thing, even with full power rounds and I have a lot of trouble with accuracy in semi-autos.
I'm already good at counting to 7 and 8 with My 1911 single stack in IDPA... 6 would fit right in.
