  1. NC Sectional cancelled due to the hurricane. I finally get enough revo shooters to have a recognized division and the weather craps on us. TANJ! PB
  2. MPF " I'd like to see some more physical stage design elements like prone shooting positions. " MD's love to have new stage designers step up, Draw something up and volunteer to set it up for the next match. If you have not designed stages before please ask someone who has to critique it. Paul
  3. Don't wait on getting fixed. The way my doc phrased it "the damage is there and it won't go away by itself. The longer you wait the worse the damage gets and the longer it takes to recover and regain the strength". Since the problem is caused by repetitive motion (dryfire maybe?) you can stop all activity and it won't get worse but it won't get better because the tissue causing the problem won't go away, it amounts to scarring around the nerves. My experience: Diagnosed while I was in getting checked for a torn ligament in my left hand. Recommended surgery on both hands about 6 months apart which i did. I lost about 9 months of shooting time. I had the left done first(right handed) and then the right. By the time the right healed I could stand to slam magazines in with the left. Another 2-3 months to get back to better than where I stopped because of the pain and numbness. Then I developed Trigger thumb on the right hand. Had that fixed and both hands are better than before surgery. Still have the ligament tear. YMMV Paul Beck
  4. Sam Reconstitute the Memphis Charity match and let that be the Revo Nationals. Please! Paul Beck
  5. I decide what(or where) I want to shoot and then figure out how much OT I need to fund that. Paul
  6. As someone who has already had to buy another gun and complete setup just to keep competing in a division after a change I am not in favor of any changes to Production or any other division. Instead of looking for what the change does for a new competitor look at what it does to the one who is currently shooting say a Beretta with 10 rd mags. Now to stay competitive they must go buy new mags. If this is adopted I will push to change Single Stack major to 10 rd mags since I have those now and everyone else CAN go buy them, screw the people who enjoy SS the way it is. Every time the rules change so that the existing shooter must go buy something else to stay competitive we lose people. Several of my friends that used to shoot Revo and had significant money in 6 shot guns and hardware refused to switch to 8 shot and instead only shoot other divisions now. There should be no capacity changes to any division that currently has a limit. Paul Beck
  7. OP Is the issue that the case going into the sizing die is tilted outward away from the center? On mine the case retaining spring pulls hard enough to tilt the case away from vertical enough to touch on the edge of the die. Pressing in toward the center gets it to go in. I cut and bent a tiny T shape of steel that I attached to the outside of the die to guide the case back to vertical. Crossbar of the T shape held to the die with a TieWrap and the leg bent so that it goes in the gap of the shellplate and just touches the case to guide it into the die. Think a T with the leg bent to an L shape. The reason is that the sizing die is the tightest opening and the case mouth is at it's largest. You can try another brand of sizing die as some have a larger opening. Hope this helps Paul
  8. I'll support changing Production to 15 rds right after PCC goes away. Paul
  9. After watching Jerry get DQed for a 180 at a match I decided to go with the weak hand load. If Jerry can break 180 while doing the swap hand load I knew that I would. Paul
  10. Mike I'm not sure. I pulled my K-frame apart, tried that spring and liked it so I cut the 929 spring to the same length. Probably 2-3 coils. Paul
  11. I saw a post on a forum that mentioned a Regional ICORE to be held in NC in the fall. I have not seen anything further. Can someone confirm or deny this match occurring? Thanks Paul Beck
  12. Just after the email I got one back. Issue fixed. Thanks Practiscore! Paul
  13. P14-45 is Brazos front FO and factory rear adjustable. P16-40 is Dawson FO and factory rear adjustable. I didn't buy the Dawson and I'm not close where i could measure it for you. I would suggest trying a thinner front as well. Paul
  14. Thanks Chuck. Its starting the second week and no response yet. I'll try a pm to Eugene. Paul Edit. I will do another email and see. Thanks Eugene. Paul
  15. Is anyone here work at/for Practiscore? I tried two emails to the address above and had no response yet. I missed out on two matches because of this so far. Thanks Paul Beck
  16. I've got a hot tub sitting in the yard. For enough money i'll move it to the CGG range. Then Cliff will feel welcome. Paul
  17. Previously tried to create an account from computer at work. Some part of the security suite caused a problem and I could not access the account. Now that I must have an account to sign up for matches it's become more important to fix. When I try to create an account it tells me the email address is already taken. And I can't post a question/problem until I have an account. Can someone PM me the contact for the Practiscore team so I can get this fixed, please. Thanks Paul Beck
  18. First pick a brand of brass. Then order TK clips to fit. In my case I had a bunch of Win brass that was from before 9mm Major so I bought those clips. Do not use random brass and expect good results. Settle on a brand (Win and Fed work in the same clip) then get the right clips. Watched someone have major problems at a Level 2 match because of range pickup brass and cheap clips. Paul Beck
  19. Check Palmetto Gun Club in Summerville, host of the SC Sectional match this year. I believe they run ICORE most of the year. Pinetucky in Augusta GA is also doing ICORE. Paul
  20. Eddie The dog ate your homework. Paul ate the jerky. The other Paul
  21. paul788

    Which one?

    Unless the club holds a USPSA match every Saturday got to travel. Who do you hate more Facebook or Citibank?
  22. Is it the length of the barrel used on a G34 versus the G19 that you don't like? Or is it that the guys who bought "Game suitable equipment" and practice enough to win that you don't like? The guns you list fit into Production already. I shoot limited and revolver. I can use a 2" barreled 5 shot J frame or the 6.5" 929 that I use now. I play within the rules and divisions that currently exist. So should all these short barrel gun owners. Paul Beck Former MD PCC Hater
  23. Brad I read thru the online manual and did not see anything specific. Call them and ask for an older version of the manual. I will look at the one I have and see if it enlightens me. Paul
  24. LCarich Cutting .38 spl that short means you are into the taper at the base and have bulging cases or problems seating bullets. Buy Short Colt brass or use .38 Long colt. Ask me how i know. Paul Beck
