  1. I'm not that familiar with all of the aspects of hunting with the trusty Revo, but I have a couple of dots mounted on N frames. If memory serves I think the Revo being drilled and tapped makes a difference as to what mount will work. I think on the non drilled and tapped models the B-Square is one of the only options. I have an Weigand and an EGW both are great and I can't tell any difference between the two.
  2. Bob, I can't comment on the 9mm Glocks, but I just got into USPSA shooting about 18 months ago and recently switched from a Para LDA to a G35. I really like it, and while I don't get much practice I am slowly getting a little better with it. I went with the 35 just becuase I already had all the stuff to reload .40s and didn't want to add another caliber. If you won one, and I don't know what the upgrade fee is I would say go for the 35 as you can trick it up for limited with little expense or still shoot it in production if you don't want to make lots of mods. There are lots of threads here on that subject. The 22s are nice also. I don't know where you are in Texas, but if you are in the San Antonio area and make it to any of the matches around town you are more than welcome to try mine. Good luck with your decision and welcome to Texas.
  3. I really hate the following that often come from senior management at my company: That's where the rubber meets the road At the end of the day it is what it is Right, wrong or indifferent It's a one off Katie bar the door Front burner Now that I think about it I hate the term senior management, the only people that use it are "senior managers" to try to impress everyone else or make it sound like everyhting they meet about is top secret or super important. The only other time you hear it is when it is bad news. Senior management decided bonuses will not be paid this year.
  4. I think that the 686s are the best revos Smith makes. I have small hands and they fit me really well. I've had several in both 4 and 6 inch and really like both. There are so many out there you can usually get a good used one for $350 to $400. While not as good as an action job, a new set of springs makes a big difference as well. These cost $15 or less. As someone else mentioned getting them cut for moon clips is a good idea also. I had a guy that would do this for $35 it just took him a while. You may also want to look for one that is already drilled and tapped should you ever want to add optics to it. I always liked the older ones with the firing pin on the hammer as well. 625's are nice too, but I've never shot mine really well. As far as carry goes I have no idea I carry a Glock. Have fun shopping!
  5. Looks like a fun match. I'm thinking of coming up from San Antonio and bringing my old man along. He actually lives in Nashville. This will probably be his first USPSA match. Never been to this club before but I assume that the people will be friendly and understanding just like everywhere else. Also, never been to a match quite this size. I've basically got a year of USPSA under my belt and a little longer with steel, my Dad just has steel. Will this be a problem here? Thanks.
  6. A while back I acquired a bunch of .38 short colt brass with a 627 purchase. Along with it came about 1,000 loaded .38 short colts. I have shot most of them up and really like them. The ones that came with the gun are 130gr jackets over 3.5 WST. I finally got around to getting dies to load this and should have my machine set up in a couple of days. I am interested in other recipes for this and if anybody has done the work on the power factor that would be helpful also. I have bullets ranging from 125 to 150 grains in both lead and jackets and all of my loading experience is with WST, Titegroup, and HP 38. I probaly should just stick with what I know works, but it is always good to have alternatives just in case.
  7. Gents, I had the same problem two weeks ago with my G35. I was shooting 180gr. Rainiers over 4.3 Titegroup. At first I had large, ackward shaped hits that looked like would be caused by a tumbling bullet. Later on in the match I has some targets that had 4 holes in them. One looked pretty much like a normal hole, the others were more of a sideways tear. If I had to say what they looked like I would say there were both keyholes and starshape as well as some others. Some of my squadmates mentioned that they have had the same problems with West Coast bullets and that Rainiers were basically the same thing. I don't think I'm moving them too fast, and I while I hate to admit that I have never measured the crimp it is the same as it always has been with no problems. Now I am worried becuase I have read some threads that list barrel problems for possible causes. I hope this is not the case. I went ahead and ordered some Zeros to see if this changes things at all. I will also be more diligent with the crimp as well. I hope this is the fix.
  8. Scubby, Through a recent purchase I ended up with a ton of .38 short colt components. I called Dillon and asked what I would need to load this. I can't remember what went where, but I think it was a mixture of a .38, .380, and 9mm. The shell plate I think was .38. I want to say the cost was under $100 for the dies alone. Good Luck.
