How do I determine how tall to make a prone pad for my 5906? Make one the same height as the magwell or taller? Tom

I am shooting a L Frame Smith with .38 special and Federal SP primers.Commercial reloads with Federal SP primers work 100% with the primers seated - .006" (6lb trigger pull).I get some light strikes even using a RCBS hand priming tool(flush to -.002").How do I get primers seated -.006"? #1 Deprime and clean pockets by hand #2 Deprime and then tumble #3 will a 1050 let me adjust the primer depth? Tom

I think Eli C. lives out that way If Eli leaves today he may be there on Monday. Tom

Another vote for WST in 180 and 200 GR loads. Tom

What is the Product code on your 5" 5906 and what does it weight? I am going to start shooting either my 4" or 5" gun in production also. Tom

IR screens are for low light conditions? I want to use IR screens all the time for consistant readings. Tom

I have a CED orginal model that with IR screens will not read MG bullets accurately. With the sky screens it reads 1040 FPS and with the IR screens it reads 550 FPS. If I alternate bullet types in a mag(WWB 1204 fps on the sky screens and MG )over the IR screens the WWB reads correctly and the MG reads 550. Any Ideas other that building a box? Thanks Tom

Shoes are always an option Tom

9mm 115 and WST is in the Hornady Fourth Edition Manual. Starting load 5.2 at 1050 FPS 5.6 MAX load at 1150 FPS.Looks like the max load would be compressed. How do you attached a scan of this page? Tom

4" DPA 5906 Product Code #170093 5" DPA 5906 Product Code #170265 5" DPA 5906 Product Code #170306 Offered at the IDPA Winter Nationals with the scalloped slide . Tom

I shoot both 4" and 5" 5906 in Production. Tom

Because that's the rule. The rules were made to make everyone safe, with any kind of gun being used. A.T. So the chamber is empty , there is no mag in the gun and the Hammer is down on a semi and you have to pull the trigger. The cylinder is empty the Hammer is down and you do not have to pull the trigger on a revolver?? HUH. Tom

Why do you not have to pull the trigger on a revolver after show clear? Or why do you have to do it on a semi auto? Just does not make sense to me. When all my semi autos have a mag disconnect and a decocker. Tom

I have been working on race cars for over 20 years.Many non first place finishes have been alot more rewarding than a WIN. Tom

310 VV 4.0 with a Star 185 LSWC and Federal primers at 1.20 is a great target load in all my .45 semis and revolvers. Tom

Welcome! We raced the Kemora 500 years ago. What a great country.. Tom

If rule 3.2.1 still has this wording :The firearm shall have no visible internal or external modifications except as follows:How can you remove the single action notch in a production revolver? Where is the rule in writing? Tom

How do we get in touch with the Chief Referee? Was a decision ever made on this? Tom

Brian, They claim it will be 58 tomorrow in Charlotte. Tom

NRA Bianchi Cup Production Division rules clarification Posted on January 28, 2010 by Caleb There has been some discussion of the Production Division rules for NRA’s Bianchi Cup at the Brian Enos Forums that I’ve been periphrially involved in. A lot of it centers around the trigger pull weight, holsters, approved guns, etc. I called Tom Hughes, NRA’s Action Pistol director yesterday to get some clarification on the rules. So straight from the top, here is what we got from Tom. The second question is “what about Performance Center guns” – i.e. are they eligible for Production Division? The answer to this is “yes and no”. Because the Performance Center guns are catalog items available to the wide public, some of them are eligible for Production Division; however because some of the PC guns are clearly designed as “competition only” guns, those would be ineligible. The example Tom used was to look at the Performance Center 627 guns. There are several models of 627 available in the Smith and Wesson Performance Center catalog. This model is a vanilla 627. It has a five inch barrel, standard iron sights, and no “competition only” touches. This model would most likely be fine in Production Division. ___________________________ I have a Stock PC 627 (vanilla) with a 4 lb trigger with no weights/ comps or a full lug barrel, just stock. I want to use this because this is what I own. Now to me with the new production rules I can change all the parts on the inside of a glock and be fine, but some say a Performance Center SW falls under the "Custom Shop" gun rule. PC guns are available off the shelf, to me custom shop is a special order gun to the customer spec's that you can't go to the local gun store and buy. Having said this, "most likely be fine in production" really is bothering me. I don't want to train and shoot for months for this match and it be to "most likely be fine in production" Tom can you confirm this Thanks It would be nice to get a yes or no answer on this ... as I think it also applies to S&W PC autos also.
