Revolver is a very lightly attended division in most places. If your closest competitor is 10% away from you, it doesn't matter what you shoot. Just shoot what you enjoy, and whatever you're motivated to practice with. -- Pat Jones Firestone CO USPSA #A79592

I dunno, I can beat all of the local singlestack Shooters, save one, with my 625 and I can't beat him with my 1911. -- Pat Jones Firestone CO USPSA #A79592

Isn't this why Smith & Wesson cuts the Chambers a little deep on the cylinders so they don't headspace without moonclips? I can go multiple matches with me 625 & 627 without cleaning, and I'm not running particularly clean powders. -- Pat Jones Firestone CO USPSA #A79592

An negligent discharge into a berm is not a DQ unless you're reloading or moving. Been that way since I've been an RO. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Dunno. Are they answering phones at corporate? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

No, we don't need more shooting sports or even divisions. We need people shooting revolvers in larger numbers, together. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

IDPA is still a thing? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I just wipe off the worst of it with gun oil. After a period of time I'll scrape some of the crud off the frame by the forcing cone. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Likely not the real problem. More likely a double action on the draw problem. The second target is better. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

On the draw, is the gun firing at the moment you get to full extension? If so, you're probably firing with less than ideal sight alignment. Do you snap the trigger when practicing the draw in dry fire? As to front sight focus, on virtually all of the shots we see in a typical match you do not need a hard front sight focus. You can aim with slightly blurry sights. Not only does this make for faster target transitions, it's a lot easier to achieve after 45. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

If they made an 8 shot, I'd consider one Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Yoke problems? Only Colts and Rugers have "cranes." [emoji6] Do you reload weak hand? It's not uncommon to push the yoke out when reloading with the weak hand. A gunsmith can fit a solid pin to replace the spring loaded plunger in your yoke screw. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

The dowel is your real problem. Once it's out, the bullet is easy. Don't do anything rash, or you'll be buying a barrel. Drill bits are likely to wander and touch the rifling. I don't have any good ideas off the top of my head. I've replaced customers rifle barrels because of a stuck squib rod. Think it thru before you stick anything else in there.

I'm using the 625 moons from Revolver Supply. I'm very happy with them.
