One caveat on that though, I had good luck with MG 124 jhp even in .355. Not quite as good as the 160 .358, but within 1/2". FWIW was using them for SC at low velocity too, like a 95 pf.

My issue with moon clips for edc is the chance of accidentally bending one, especially if carried in my pocket. Not an issue with Speedloadeers. But I still carry my 325tr and moons in my pockets, at times.

Look at xtreme or rmr think they have 200 plated or jacketed. If loading coated with revolver that ridge doesn't seem to cause many problems. You can load short and crimp over it too. The 185 hbrn always gave me accuracy issues past 25 yds.

man vs man, center overlapping steel down first, without faulting, wins. Usually Poppers, switch sides at least once. It is great fun.

If it died in mid cof, you're right, just spray and pray. But what I like about it is it allows ease of use for the Dot to do accuracy work on loads and such (removes the old eyesight variable). The other is if you shoot say Open & Limited, especially at the same match, you don't have to change revolvers, just the dot on/off. I have some very thin adaptor plates that put the window just a smidge higher than an Alchin Mount. Is it the "best choice" for putting a dot on a Revolver, that's a personal issue. To me it seems the size of the window is more important than the height of the mount, within reason. The only down side is the depth of the notch, it's only .080 to .083 but it has a serrated blade, my previous choice was the s&w factory .196" rear sight it has a .095 depth but the blade is plain and on testing it actually was easier to get the better sight picture with the LPA serrated.

Go to fusion firearms and look under revolver sights.

Hmm, how about making the free state a testing ground? If we could get mwp, alex,rich, cliff, jay, mike... With some doing 6 and some doing 8. Next year? it is always summer, so should be before nationals. These guys are all co & lo, so they don't like 8 move 8, etc. We already hanging just short of 20. Give it some thought.

When at a match once I turn the dot on at gear up, I leave it alone. I've yet to have one die at a match. I change the batteries in the spring and before a big match. But I always keep a spare of everything I can think of, OCD is a pain.

When I do shoot IDPA I go with my EDC Belt and Holster for the particular Division. The belt is a heavy duty item once sold through Alien Gear, has a spring insert for extra rigidity. I think it's made by Big Foot now https://gunbelts.com/gun-belt-1-5-wide-leather-with-core-14-oz.html. Very comfortable and no sag belt. Old, discontinued, IWB Comp-Tac for my 325TR or a Blade Tech, discontinued also, for the same 325TR. And my 29-3 fits and is good when I'm in the mood (don't carry the 29). The others, G34's or M&P 2.0 45acp (both I routinely carry) with IWB DeSantis Slim Tuks (my preferred EDC Holster) or Blade Tech OWB Classics. Or if I feel more gamey the 1911 9mm or 1911 45acp's with the same holster types.

Shoot a few MCPSL USPSA matches and there probably would be a slot available. We usually earn several and there's nobody begging for them.

Locally it's the memory stage bug, the higher capacity seems to be causing a drift away from larger groupings to smaller groups engaged from multiple spots. With an 8 shot and trying to maximize the engagements it leaves me kind of dizzy (well dizzier than usual). Going to have to work on my attack plans going forward. Wouldn't it be wild that the move towards hi-caps opens a door for 6 shots to become competitive? Or is it just that Cliff kicked our butts because he is that good! (I lean towards that argument).

I even remember the days "before" Limited!

Yep and us revolvers aren't going to increase capacity. Which is what lit the Co fire and likely led to lo. My point is to attract the masses it must be optic and hi capacity. So optics alone won't save revolver. It's a niche market and those who know its secret love it. But it's not for every one.

That was the argument against both co and lo. Now they're more popular than anything else.

We usually have 4 to 5 Revolvers at our local USPSA Match, when we get excited. Those of us rarely shoot anything else (though I have since I started in 1978). Locally we even have tried an Revolver Category to compare IS/OS Revolvers, I was the only one with osr in open and performed miserably. Our local USPSA Club hosted the Kansas Free State Level II (the USPSA Committee did a FANTASTIC JOB too) and Revolver was the 4th most popular Division, and THE Most Popular IS Division (by a good margin too) we even outpaced PCC. But other areas? I kind of promote the Revolver participation at the Free State and anticipate 2025 we will move into 3rd. CO and LO will always be on top, with Optics, high capacity, minor pf and cost creating a perfect storm for the masses. The idea though that aging eyes will benefit from optics on Revolvers and be enticed to compete in USPSA isn't a given. Adapting to Optics isn't a pick up and be wonderful kind of thing though. Especially if you're used to shooting IS. If you're used to Optics, or just starting out, it's either a non-issue or you have a learning curve anyway.
