I will be the first to admit I am not an AR expert, and frankly the massive volume of stuff on the internet is confusing me--so I hope somebody can help me out here. I just bought a new PSA 9mm lower that takes Glock mags, and I would like to purchase a compatible side-charging complete 9mm upper. Does anybody sell a complete upper that will function with the PSA lower? If not, what would I need to put one together?

Nice guy? Sorry, I was thinking of a different Jay Tappe.

You Texas cowboys let some old farmer from Iowa take 1st overall?

I would mill off the threaded portion, crown the muzzle, and be done with it.

Yes, he absolutely did.

Be a little gentler. No reason to slam it closed, even when speed reloading.

OK, did you ask why Bruce would send it back to the factory for a simple timing job, which is a very common and routine repair for any experienced revolversmith?

Doesn't the 929 use the same hand as the 627/327? If so, any old N-frame hand will NOT work (at least not without extensive modification). There is a specific part for the 8-shooters that is properly relieved.

It is not necessary, or advisable, to remove the side plate for routine cleaning.

That is correct.

Absolutely true, Pat.

Yeah, right!

Funny to watch everybody try to put their particular spin on cutting down hammers, and makimg it far more complicated than necessary! So for those who haven't already done so, I hereby authorize all of you to simply Carmonize your hammers! (No charge--hell, I stole the idea from an old Gun Digest article from 1980....)

If your gun has the blunt Ti factory pin that measures .495", you won't improve on it. If you have the newer CA-drop-test version that is pointy and shorter, you'll want something different.

The only real benefit of a Ti cylinder is reduced peening at the cylinder stop notches. The rest is purely placebo.

For those of you who still harbor hope that there is a future for USPSA Revolver Division, I strongly recommend you shoot in Revolver Division and not be screwing around with your wheelguns in Production and Open. Revolver Division desperately needs to show more participation and mission count. On the other hand, if you just are looking to have fun, shoot whatever gun and division you want!

Why would anyone want to leave an ugly hammer spur in place? That's like asking the doctor to leave that giant wart on your nose, and just drill a couple holes in it to make it a bit lighter.

Bumper chrome. Looks like one of the prize guns from Second Chance.

We're shooting Saturday. Not sure what time it starts.

Bingo!

Only 4 wheels this year--congrats to Josh for an excellent performance at a challenging match. Thanks to the Area 3 staff for placing plaques and prizes on the table for Revo despite the low number of entries--classy move.

Only 4 revolvers this year. Not enough for any sort of recognition, apparently. Excellent stages, though. It was a very challenging match. Tons of hardcover.

I might switch to Open and let you guys battle it out in Revolver. I ran the wheel at Area 3 and 5 and I'm ready to do something different for awhile.

The great promise of the 929 was to function with cheap promotional factory ammo. It was the revolver that would allow easy entry into the division by new wheelgunners without the need for all the tinkering and futzing of special handloads. (People who already had 627s found no particular benefit in switching, to be candid.) Unfortunately, the 929 developed the reputation of being finicky, and it hasn't been a huge help to the effort to save the division as we had hoped.
