  1. Oh man this is so relevant to a recent argument i had within our local uspsa club board! Wish I'd found it then. Glad you handled it well and didn't let it get into your head. As for the op, I started in 1978, burnt out in 1996, came back with revolver division after 2001, now my focus is icore even started a club. Really enjoy the slower pace. Still doing uspsa, just not as obsessed.
  2. Clean it thoroughly then try a side plate shim from ron powers.
  3. But the upside is, I've got plenty of elbow room!
  4. Out here in the hinterlands of fly over country, it's not so cut and dried. Before retirement had a situation where I couldn't make the times the local post office was open, 2 to 4 pm only, and that turned into a weeklong adventure in tracking it down. Post office solved that issue, closed down the office a decade ago now.
  5. You could have it delivered to a fed ex business, or a local dealer, and pick it up there. A local hardware store here has done this for me.
  6. The only damage to be done would be if you try to load a Starline fitting clip with ww, rp or some other brand case that is too tight. I've bent one trying to do that. It seemed to spring back, but if left that way It could take a set. The normal tight clip/case fit wont spring a clip. A more worrisome issue is as cases are fired multiple times I've noticed at some point the fit gets off and the moon won't drop in freely. Change rounds and they do. I surmise it's due to burrs in the groove.
  7. Hard part is finding a revolver to fit the case!
  8. I have in glocks and 1911 with lighter jacketed bullets. But in revolvers it's 38 short colts.
  9. I'm 67 and hope I'm not! I'm down to 4 lbs of Clay Dot, and 1 lb of Clays the good old stuff, so I need to find some. Or start using the 12 lbs of Titegroup I have next year. Just ordered 2 more flats of f100's, down to 1 flat of them left and 3+ flats of fed/cci.
  10. ICORE Rules at times are "loose" shall we say? 6.10 says A revolver may only compete in a single Division that must be declared prior to the start of competition. I interpreted that, at local matches, to be you can't sign up to shoot multiple divisions with the same gun at once, meaning you can't sign up in Open/Limited with the same Revolver and just shoot once. Locally we've shot up to 2 Divisions with the same Revolver so we can double our primer usage! And not slow down the squad. As for moon clip holders, try to find (or make them) Kydex Holders like North Mountain made. https://www.revolversupply.com/moon-clip-holders/ might still sell some and they allow you to use the same holder for all of the moon clips. As for moon clipping the .44's, I'd probably not do it again. Finding RN bullets for the .44 for ICORE are a pain and the moon clips that I got were loose and easily damaged. I've not used the magnetic holders, so you might need to find someone who does have them and find out. I'll see if I can't contact a buddy who would know. The longer the barrel the less the sight picture requires refinement. There's a reason dot shooters like shorter barrels, less weight out front to stop on the next target and less movement if they have to go into a port. With a Dot you're not hindered by a short barrel, with iron sights a longer barrel will have less bullet dispersion for the sight picture. I'd recommend skipping moon clipping a .44 and go with a 929, unless you can find a 6 1/2" M25 that may take a longer search. If you load your own rounds you're welcome to shoot my 4" M29 with or without moon clips.
  11. Alliant clay dot is the same as clays. I started using it about the time the Australian plant ceased production.
  12. Tk custom hammer is the lightest and takes minor fitting of the da sear. If you're a uspsa member and get front sight magazine check last years issues, spring time I think, I published an article there on this issue.
  13. Go to DLsportscustom.com Dave lauck, think he sells a beavertail grip for s&w revolvers.
  14. Look at the Hogue xframe grip or pachmyr or something that covers the back strap.
  15. I think the issue was due to a semiauto telescoping rounds oal when feeding. A small change drastically increased pressures. But beware it was an issue in 2011's and especially glocks.
  16. you should've said tried a special wound spring and it didn't work? Just think if it had worked?! We'd all be running out to the office supply store.
  17. Hey warren, heading to the irc with Darren, going to use the pro you helped me with as my main gun! It's working great. Anyone know where to find a couple of stars for a 627, my PC needs timed.
