Calls Shots

Calls Shots (8/11)

  1. Only problem with that is the scandium is extremely inconsistent. Got to go steel to get the gun to run 100% of the time in all conditions.
  2. Hi , would you be interested in making me some 12" barrels for S&W JM pro 9mm revolvers & 357 686's.

     

    I am an FFL over in the UK with an office in Dawson Srings, Ky

     

    The UK are allowed revolvers BUT must have a crazy 12" barrel & a 12" bar screwed into the frame.

     

    Let me know if this is some thing you may be interested in.

     

    All the best

  3. Shooting a different caliber through the gun than it’s stamped gives you an extra 5% of total match points- everyone knows that.
  4. A fast return speed can be had with an 11lb rebound, as long as your mainspring is super light too. I have a 686 that I’ve used to have a hard look at the 5 shot record that has an 11lb rebound. That guns capable of going a lot faster than I can- down into single digits, but the mainspring is crazy light too. Total weight is 4ish right now. Not something I’d want for a match.
  5. You can cut down and rechamber a 627 cylinder.
  6. Teaching is one of the ways to learn how much you don’t know. At least for me it has been. I think there’s several different techniques to a fast trigger pull. Most will get you to a sub 20 average, then there’s a different technique that can take you to about a 17 average, then it’s an entirely different one to go rip 13s and 14s and 15s and 16s in succession- a 14.5ish average. But in all those situations my finger doesn’t come off the trigger with a revolver. Some portion of that could have to do with using a 15-16lb return spring though.
  7. I’m on the trigger smooth, kinda. It’s a mixture of get angry at it and keep it moving. Hard to explain.
  8. I mean that’s a possibility. I think it’s extremely detrimental to the cylinder and the stop to pull the trigger the way some people do. And let’s not even talk about the abuse some of those weak hand reloaders do to those poor cylinders…
  9. I’ve done a little dry fire myself. And owned a few guns. They all need a little love coming from the factory that’s for sure. But after you get a few things cleaned up, they just seem to run, and rarely have any issue from what I’ve seen.
  10. Ok- serious question. How are you wearing these parts out? I must be doing something wrong. Other than swapping a good firing pin out for a good firing pin, I barely clean the guns. Once a gun falling off a table on concrete like sand once resulting in a broken trigger stud, and some cylinders that saw some angry ammo, I’m not sure I’ve ever replaced anything. I’ve never used a shim, replaced a spring or even considered owning a spare sear. I had to replace a 686 cylinder a decade ago, but then I found out just this last winter it wasn’t me- the person I loaned it to all those years ago wore out a 625 cylinder in a week of dryfire.
  11. Call TK. Many a 327/627 have been cut for 9mm long before the 929 came to be. To make the chambers work it needs to see the 9mm reamer, and to make the moons work it needs a few thousandths taken off the face of the cylinder.
  12. This is the correct answer. Call and ask and they’ll either be happy to do it for you or explain why it can’t be done.
  13. I’ve got a pair. OG dots. Vic shot one back in the day. Let’s see some pics of that grip that was on it when you got it…
  14. Taurus is working on releasing exactly that. I’m surprised Caleb didn’t have it out for Shot last week.
