Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. If IDPA allows moonclipped guns in the single revo division things could get interesting. Yesterday I shot my first match since September in ESR against one guy in SSR. We're both MA class shooters and everyone was looking forward to see how the match turned out as a good test case. I came out ahead by 20 points. Granted, this isn't an objective test case but if it was to hold up with many shooters in revo I'd suspect that speedloader guys would either bring out their 625s or else get into another division. Very few new shooters will want to invest in a 625 to get into revo. And since IDPA used the 3% ESR totals from majors to justify killing the division, if participation dropped significantly who's to say they wouldn't just eliminate revo altogether. We'll just have to wait and see how it all turns out. The 625 could find new life in IDPA only to meet it's end there, again.
  2. In my very first multigun match I ran my 686....it gets better. I also ran a Saiga 223 and a Saiga 12, all iron sights, in Open LOL Didn't do too bad, as I recall. I think I was 4th out of 8 Open shooters. By the next match I had obtained an M&P9. That shotgun/revo match sounds like a lot of fun!
  3. I see and agree. One of my lgs advertised they had new S&W 9 revos in but it was just the 7-shots.
  4. They definitely stand to be the big winner. Too bad they have completely botched the 929 roll out. How so? I haven't heard anything about it.
  5. At first I thought the 8 shot rule was great. Then, I realized I'd need to buy one, get it worked, dump a ton of money in clips, etc. I don't shoot USPSA that much but planned to do more this year with a great local club and a major close to home. But, that's not going to happen, so -1 existing revo shooter from the pack. I'm happy for you who are enjoying the change though. I'd be there if I wanted to dump the cash but I don't.
  6. Maybe find a different sport. Like USPSA. Or fishing. I don't have the skills for USPSA, they don't make a class low enough. Double that since I don't have an 8 shooter LOL. Necro indeed! Not sure how all this came back up LOL Thanks for the advice, but I'm skipping SWIN this year. Flag is back on though so it's all good. Shoot well if you're heading to Springfield.
  7. I'd think someone could save themselves a lot of work messing with the latch instead of just cutting down the hammer. Check out the thread below to see how much can be taken off and still have enough to catch the latch. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=177904
  8. To make things worse, there is now an M-69 that is a 5-shot .44 Magnum on the L-Frame. World is changing, isn't it. Sticking 9mm on an n-frame and 44 on a l-frame. I'm not sure what planet I'm on anymore. LOL
  9. Cool- great option for ICORE and USPSA. Not digging the 29 of 929- that always speaks 44 to me.
  10. S.L. Variant speedloaders offer an SSR option with your 625 if your gun makes weight (sometimes minor changes can get it there) and you don't mind loosing the occassional 45 autorim peice of brass LOL
  11. Everything you're asking about is possible and the Model 10 is a great SSR gun (as most K-frames are) But..... I personally wouldn't do it. If memory serves, this is a Bill Davis revolver- I especially wouldn't do it to that one. You'll be time and probably money ahead to just get another gun set-up like you want. Lots of used k and l frames floating around at decent prices.
  12. This vid is painstaking to watch, but it shows why the double taps happen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNVHg93velo
  13. I think the cause is that the finger is still pressing back on the trigger during recoil. The gun recoils so much that there's enough movement for the trigger to reset, all the while the operater is still holding back on the trigger. The result is as you see in the video. I don't think it will be an issue with folks that have reasonable hand strength and have been around some heavier recoiling rounds in revolvers before. An action job certainly would not play into it (reduced rebound spring).
  14. Yep, I got one for moving on a reload during the all strong hand stage. Sure, it was wrong and I deserved it---but MAN was it a good feeling 3 seconds earned. Felt like freedom LOL Might be of interest to some, the SOs at the GA match would let you initiate a reload in the open and complete it behind cover while moving. They just didn't want you to make a shot after initiating the open reload until you was behind cover. The IN State SOs handled it the same way. Sounds like a guy needs to check with each SO on each stage of a match to be sure. Probably doesn't matter for most, but as I shoot revolver there is a good chance I'll go empty in the open.
  15. Sheesh....a guy DC's some IDPA major and all the sudden becomes an authority on vests
