My guess is the crimp will be a bit under .370. Looks good as long as it's accurate don't worry. It would even shoot in a semi-auto, accuracy may or may not be affected just depends on the gun.

Can also use silicone sealant.

Did it once here at the mcpsl December monthly matches. Home of the free state uspsa championship, have been the 4th most populated division for 3 years had 14 revolvers in 2023 including cliff Walsh shooting major. We listed a revolver category, 2 of us shot open division/revolver category and 4 shot revolver division/revolver category. Most revolvers at our monthly match for a while.

Understood, thanks.

Well said, thank you.

The top guys agree the dot is a significant advantage, and shoot dots regularly just not in uspsa. Yet they don't want to see dots in uspsa revolver. Questions for mwp and fishbtreath especially, Why? Is it the tradition? Or Less fun? Or Think it will hurt the division? Will you both keep shooting USPSA Revolvers if Dots were allowed?

Ooh I'd love to shoot can you count with my dot revolver, will set it up at next years icore match then translate it to hf. Reason why is im curious if I just shoot it with the target in the window can I go faster? In December at our uspsa match we had a revolver category and I shot with a dot sighted revolver. There were several stages with close targets that I never saw the dot. And was surprised that I got decent hits. Of course I didn't win revolver category, Darren did.

IMHO there are three types who benefit the most from dots. 1st those who never became comfortable with iron sights. 2nd those who are willing/able to put extensive practice into dots and get comfortable with them. 3rd the time survivors who struggle with iron sight focus. A 4th group MUST adopt dots, those in the top few percentage competitors. If for no other reason than the mental aspect of NOT giving up any points. Some have natural talent, or are comfortable with irons, and don't have time/wilingess to adapt to a dot, and I doubt if they would be harmed by staying with irons. The question is what would help or hurt our beloved sport?

Very well said.

Definitely not delusional, equal? Never heard of any being equal. Each division has its pros and cons, those who like and those who don't. None are more popular than co, and I get it. Us revolver guys just march to a different beat. And we are discussing how, or if, it can be made a little bit more, fun, appealing or ??? Knowing full well we aren't the cool kids on the block.

When the USPSA Revolver Nationals was a stand alone it had around 100 competitors and it was after the Single Stack Nationals which was several days and almost 400 competitors. But yes if done correctly it can be upped, as a curious note I wonder how it would be received today if a club repeated that pattern? The Memphis Charity Challenge matched those National numbers and had NO semi-automatic Divisions preceding it, wonder if that could be re-created? The IRC at one time was HUGELY popular, but they had a prize table that was out of this world heavy. I desperately wanted to attend but could never justify going all of the way to California for it. And once it moved out of there it seemed the prize table dropped and then attendance.

Bob has been up here in the Midwest several times, great guy. I am so envious of you guys, short sleeves, running revolvers and under clear blue skies. God smiles on you, enjoy it for the rest of us.

On another thread I started a poll, and am surprised by the numbers. Just a few years ago I did another and this latest one already has close to 3x the response.

Guilty as charged, but i sat it with a smile.

?uh-huh sure? Hope so.

Unfortunately for your narrative the revolver world is happy, discussions don't equate to unhappy. We are small and I think that's good. Keeps the agitators busy elsewhere.

Now that is disturbing, my impression of lead free primers is not good. Is it goodbye to our light action happy pills?

Me thinks a few extra pages have just been added to this thread.

That was what was talked about on the livestream, I sat through 10 hours to finally hear it. Though driver8m3 is the ad who brought it up, so I would defer to him for accurate information.

Optics with irons in revolver division. the uspsa rules committee is looking to put out a survey on whether optics will be allowed in revolver division. There is no talk at this time to add, or eliminate, any divisions. Optics would be an option but not mandatory, by the rules, in revolver division.

Note there was no discussion about removing any division. The comments by area 8 was that he had been approached by members who would like to be able to shoot optics in revolver division. The inference was it would help old eyes. My guess is this is a byproduct of the increasing popularity of optics on all types of handguns.

My understanding is uspsa wont mail fs mags overseas. They still offer them here, unless you opt out. Personally I prefer a real magazine.

I was wrong too! The window files have a safe side on the top or bottom. The angled file is a tapered cut. The squared file is a straight cut. What I used was a 1911 frame/slide file has the proper safe sides to fit https://www.brownells.com/tools-cleaning/gun-tools/handgun-tools/1911-slideframe-rail-file/ Just checked it on my 8 shot 627 and it looks like it would work. Toolguy or Revoman might know of better files, might PM them.

I had googled it and the IPSC website listed what I wrote, I didn't think it was accurate and had a query I posted on the IPSC Revolver FB page answered that the Rule Book posting is incorrect? Thanks for the verification though.

I can't argue against Toolguy's perception, Except that when you find USPSA Revolver competitors it's worth the effort. And Toolguy you're very fortunate to have a local club with a pretty solid group of USPSA Revolver competitors. And I'd argue that outside of me, all of the others even those who shoot Revolvers with us only occasionally, are some of the best to be around. The other's I just ignore, there are those kind in every group.
