Right now Sunday's forecast is looking great, keeping my fingers crossed.

Just a reminder Porter County has their last match of the season Sunday. Be a good time to give that freshly overhauled open gun a workout. Bob

Thanks to all that worked and made the match happen. The stages were great, wish I would have shot as good on Sunday as I did on Saturday. Again great match, looking forward to shooting it again next year.

Ron & Mary Ann Cooper of Target Sports are again stepping up as sponsors. Thanks to them we will be giving away a Smith & Wesson M&P Pro 9mm. Thank you Target Sports for all of your support!

Looks like you shot pretty well over the weekend Chad, good job at IL. -Bob-

Warsaw Rifle & Pistol Club in Warsaw, IN will be hosting the Indiana USPSA SS/Prod/Revolver Championship March 29-30, 2014. We will post updates here as they become available, hope to see you there!

I'm toying with the idea... Just shoot the wheelgun, you'll have alot more fun.Did that convince you? I am looking forward to this match, it will be my first time shooting in TN. I should warn you I've won revolver division at our last two club matches. Wonder how I would have done if there'd been another revolver shooter? BB I know what you mean there, it is definitely a sparse division but I have a good time any way.

Does that include at road signs?Ok, I should have clarified, my first time shooting a USPSA match in Tennessee. I think the road sign was actually in Kentucky.

I see a couple more revolver shooters have signed up, glad to see I won't be the only one running the wheel.

I would be interested in the November match as well but with it on the 2nd Sunday my attendance will be determined by what we are doing at Warsaw in November.

Bob F. did it in the Amish division as well! (it's easier to find them all when you get the EZwin Update report ) Hey, I resemble that remark! Congrats to you all as well!

I DO NOT want to see revo divided into sub-divisions. That will make our small division even smaller.

I did not miss the point. Who else makes a revo chambered in .45acp to compete with the 625?

I could not agree more.

Actually virtually every Division has a "Best" Gun, Open/Limited it's the 2011 pattern, Limited 10 it's the 1911/2011, Of course SS is the 1911 (and it's still growing) heck even Production was dominated by Glock for years. All have other guns that compete, and win occasionally, and in Revo you do have others that way, it has become a S&W 45 Division because that is what fit the rules and was the cheapest and had the most accessories. I don't believe Revo is stagnant due to equipment domination. But the argument is it's stagnant due to round limitations/COF design. I've had my current piece become obsolete many times, it's almost part of the fun of the game. So if the argument is correct, the 8 shot would solve the issue and will lead to more participation. Going to minor for all would not, it would still be 6 shot. the 8 shot minor restriction is an olive branch to those who have 45's and gives them a chance to stay competitive. Going to minor for all and allowing 8 shot would destroy any chance. It still may well end up the dominant gun will be the 8 shot minor, that's fine it's happened before and will again, but it still allows the 6 shot major (including .357 mag I might add) to compete. When was the last time a USPSA major was won with something other than a S&W 625? If you want to win a 625 is what you shoot.

To me the title of the thread is the question that needs to be answered, not whether or not we should allow eight shot minor/six shot major. To me instead of growing the division we would loose as many as we gain and it would be a wash doing that. The division is stagnant because it is pretty much a one gun division. To be competitive you need a moonclipped revolver that can shoot major loads without beating you to death, you get the S&W 625. I know there are a few folks out there with .40S&W L-frames and some with S&W 610 but the 625 is pretty much the main gun in revo. By changing the rules to allow eight shots between reloads with minor scoring all we have done is change which one firearm the division will shoot. To give the division a chance to grow we need a rule change that will give several different revolvers a chance to be competitive, the revolvers folks have at home in their gun safes already. I understand that moonclipped guns will probably always come out on top but it is much more affordable to have a gun you already own machined for moonclips than it is to buy another gun and I believe is much more likely to happen then buying another gun. I would rather see the rules stay the same then change them and leave revo division a one gun division, there is no growth in that. From what all I have read division growth is what everyone wants, right? That is why I think changing Revolver division to minor scoring only/six shots between reloads would the best chance for growth in the division.

I think Craig hit the nail on the head here. Eight shot minor is catering to a single firearm.
