  1. Ardo,

    You will need to order the Wolff new style hammer spring. They are the short springs for Sig pistols with the plastic mainspring seats. 21 lbs is the factory standard. A 18 lb spring should will work consistantly in your gun with no light primer strikes. You can order one from Top Gun Suppy. The link to the spring is below.

  2. Hello,

    I am new to this wheel gun thing and I am having problems finding a holster. I have everything I need to start shooting except the holster. I have a 5" S&W 625 in 45acp. I am looking for a descent starter holster. If someone can point me in the right direction or has one for sale, I would appreciate it.

    Thanks,

    Jeff

  3. Schoonie,

    I agree with you. At a local match, you have a lot of new shooters who know nothing of the rule book or calibrations. You also have a lot of shooters that have a limited amount of ammo. So stop the shooter and fix the problem. Remember, this is susposed to be fun.

    At a major match, I also agree with Schoonie. You must assume that the shooter has some understanding of the rules and he will asked for a calibration. If not then he will learn after that stage and it will be a good learning experience for him.

    I also think that gear is a big deterant to new shooters. At my local club there are a couple of seasoned shooters that I have spoken with regarding what they say to new shooters. I overhead one at our last match telling a new shooter "Why don't you buy a real gun". The new guy was shooting a Glock 17. You could tell that he was disappointed and discouraged by what he just heard and I was too. After talking to the new shooter, he said that was all he could afford. I had to reassure him that the majority of the shooters you meet here are not like that. I was planning on shooting Open but changed my mind and shot my Glock 19 and had the new guy squad with me. At the end of the match, he thanked me for cheering him up and he said that he had a great time. Now the new guy is emailing me everyday looking for more info on this sport and he wants to ride with me to the next match that i shoot.

    This is an example of how a few shooters can push away new shooters and "us" as seasoned shooters need to be reminded sometimes of what it felt like at our first match.

  5. I agree with Steve and Kyle. Dry fire practice has helped me out a lot. I don't have the time or a local range to do live fire practice, so dry fire is what I do in between matches. I would recommend Steve's dry fire book to anyone. I still use it and I've had it for over a year.
