Gun fit is everything when shooting moving clay birds. It's also something that you need to figure out what works best for you not what someone else tells you is best. The pros will get you in the ball park and might hit the nail on the head for you but ultimately its you who needs to figure out what works best for you.

Frankly, If you had an adjustable comb you could just raise it to suit the higher rib. Look at the champs, most of them have adjustable combs or custom stocks made to fit them. There's probably a good reason for that.

The cylinder release reminds me of a Ruger LCR and how blocky it is reminds me of a rino. I got a 340pd so I won't be needing one of them

I haven't cleaned many gun parts I'm my ultra sonic cleaner (harbor freight)with much success but I have used it successfully to clean brass using a 50/50 mix of white vinagar and water with good results. After which I would rince with water and put back in the ultra sonic with 100% water. I experimented with other solutions but none of them worked any better for the dollars I spent. The gun parts I tried to clean with it didn't come very clean but to be honest I didn't experiment with it very much. I don't know if what I did was right or wrong but that's my experience and for what it's worth I now clean my brass with a vibratory tumbler and corn cob media.

I don't know anything about the hornaday loaders but the MEC's are great loaders. I e loaded tens of thousands of shells on them and in the shotgun world they are as popular as Dillion's are in the metallic loading word. I looked up the hornaday loader and it looks like a PW loader. I don't know much about those either. Hope this helps

There's some measurements you need to take and you also need to decide how much neck tension you want to be able to answer your question. First you need to know the thickness of your case's neck. From my experience most aren't concentric and need to be sized properly and turned so that they are concentric. Then you can do the math and decide how much tension you want on the bullet. I.E. Bullet=.224 + neck wall thicknes .010x2= .244 then subtract the amount of neck tension you want I.E. .002 This is just an example you need to take some measurements and decided how much tension you want. If you don't want to turn your necks then measure your bullet diameter and seat a few bullets and then measure a few of your necks to get a general idea of your neck thicknes and go from there. It took me a while to get set up to neck size with bushings and I'm not sure that it really helped my group sizes much but it was fun figuring it out. Hope this helps

Back in the day of my skeet shooting. Myself and several fellow shooter all agreed that lower pressure loadings had less recoil. It wasn't much but when your shooting 8 boxes 3 times a week, we thought we could tell a difference. We also thought is was easier on our sub gauge tube sets but we all had 20 gauge cambers crack anyway( they are the most likely to crack being the thinnest). With that said one of my friends fell in live with one particular high pressure load. That friend had more tube problems than the rest of us. to add to that when you'd borrow a 20gauge shell from him there was definitely more recoil.

What steve said. It works on STI mags to incase you ever have problems with one of those.

Just wanted to let those of you who are the best dads that they can be that they are appreciated. I know I appreciate mine and, he is a good one!! I spend as much time as possible with him. He's recently retired and has never been involved in competitive shooting past a skeet league but that's where my love for quality things that go bang come from. He's since moved on to love things like John Deer and other implements to go with them and I in return love to see the smile on his face while using them. I never thought I'd let many people know the gratitude I feel for what he has given me or has done for me but this feels like the right. I let him know this too. Just wanted to let you dads know IT'S APPRECIATED even if we don't say it. :-) FYI I'm 37 he's 64 and still way smarter that I'll ever be

Seriously though these are sweet looking guns and for the price are a steal considering what your getting and the warranty.

I was going to post a really smart a__ reply for all the impatient people here but instead I'll repeat something I heard once. Patience is a virtue. P.S. I'm an inherent smart a__

+1 on the TK comp. I haven't tried any others to compare but it's better than without a comp

One more thing. Get good plugs ( ngk or denso ) there worth the $ and it's not that much more. Stay away from bosh when dealing with plugs. As far as wires there not usually all that sensitive

Yes definitely plugs, wires, coil, could cause a miss like you're describing. And have seen leaks at the manifold do it to but not as often. The manifold gasket is a long shot but easy to check with a vacuum gauge. Remember the basics are still the same as always. Fuel, air, spark, compression, timing. With all those it will run regardless of how many computers the manufacturer puts in the car

What year is your truck and do you live in a pollution controed city? I'm not a Toyota tech specificly but I don't think your problem is a TPS or adjustment of it. Sounds more like plugs or wires possibly a vaccume leak at a manifold runner. I would usually put something along the lines of fix your truck before your guns but I fix my guns before my truck to ?

Lets get back to the basics here. Which one fits better? That's the most important part of being able to hit something with a shotgun. Or you could sell it and buy something else in that case pick the one worth the most.

Was at a gun store over the weekend and saw a new 929 for sale. It was at a gun store near Kansas City, Missouri called Frontier Justice. The price seemed reasonable at 1169 I think. I know where's been people looking for them and thought I'd let you all know.

Grease from the pump at the shop and what ever motor oil I got in the garage. It seems to work for me but I clean pretty frequently( 250-500rnds). Hope this helps someone!

I thought it was good. Someone had some pretty creative ideas on how to put together the action scenes.(if you watch it you'll know what I mean). I never saw the TV series.

Good things to know on here. Thanks guys!! This forum never ceases to amaze me!! Again thank you!!

At this point I'm thinking I'm just going to have to make up my mind and try something. It seems that some people are having luck with some things and others with others. What I've got so far is that 38 special is about the only thing that will shoot accuratly without a doubt. Everything else at lest one person seems to be having problems with. I'm sure there are others that are using those same things with success but what's the trick? Maybe we should start a new thread and see what people's experiences are?

I'm ok with a little heavier D/A pull. Out of the box it's at 10lbs. That seemed ok to me but if I could easily lower it a pound or two that would be ok to.

Thanks a bunch for all the great info!!! My question now is this, what's the difference between 38 short colt brass and cut 38 special? I also wanted to ad that I'm not planning on using federal primers. So how would that change what someone could do with the trigger?

I wanted to get into shooting a revolver in USPSA so out I went and bought a 627-5 performance center. Im planning on using trimmed down 38 special brass like some others are doing on here. Also going to use moon clips. I Have a friend that has tons of once fired brass that I can have or get cheap. I already have the equipment to do all the work on the brass. What my question is about is you guys/gals opinions and experiences with all the other things that I'm going to need ( moon clips, holster, moon clip holder or whatever you call that thing).

I'm guessing that if you chamfered one to much you could end up with bulged brass (like a glock/unsupported chamber) depending on your loads? It seems that 38 short colt loads can have a lot of pressure ( this seems to be the what some guys are doing in the 627's ) from what I've been hearing? Again I have no experience here so chime in with your experience please.
