  1. Is the Lee taper crimp die good? Right now I'm using the Lee 9mm factory crimp die because I'm shooting 38 short colt
  2. There's not fences around restricted states (yet). People travel all the time to free states to shoot matches and vise versa. All the guys that are not cops that come to NJ to shoot are extremely scared and have an extra set of 10 round mags to shoot here and new york
  3. One question for you pro revolver guys How hard are you crimping the bullets? I think I'm crimping them pretty hard, there's a groove cut into the bullet. I'm using berry's 130gn rn. I brought calipers with me and the leftover bullets in the clips on the ground were about 12 to 18 thousands pulled out
  4. Even a bad day of shooting is still better than a good day at work lol. I'm probably going to save open for last and carry optics. I'm thinking SS next then production.
  5. Good suggestion Joe but I'm only using it for uspsa and there's no revo optic division
  6. There's like 13 or 14 states that are limited to 10 round magazines for normal people. Why do they feel the need to f*#k that up? Besides the fact that it means more s#!t to buy even for guys in free states that currently only have 10 round mags for production.
  7. I wouldn't say I've been burned out lately but I've definitely lost focus. I've always had this goal to make A class in every division (except PCC cus that's like winning the special Olympics). I never practice because it's boring and I don't have time. I made A in limited in March and had a lot of top 10 overalls and I think a couple of overall wins when the GM's with red dots didn't show up lol. The last few months I've been shooting like absolute garbage. I don't look at the sights at all, I'm just rushing through the stages not even paying attention. I needed a change. I got a new 627 a couple of months ago and sent it straight to Clark's custom. I got it back about 10 days ago and it's sweet. I had to do a little more grinding on the holes to get the moons to drop in perfectly. I spent about two minutes learning how to reload and it was off to the races! I shot a local yesterday and had a smile back on my face the whole day right after the first stage! I got the feeling back I had form when I first started almost 10 years ago. I was really into 3 gun before covid killed it and my favorite thing from 3 gun was the shotgun. I really liked loading it, stage planning, not missing/aiming lol and the revolver reminds me of that, a lot. I'm actually feeling motivated to start dry firing. Of course as luck would have it I had to start with one of the classifiers. Riverdale standards, you know the one with 2 mandatory reloads and weak hand. I did terrible because I obviously can't do a decent reload and I haven't shot this gun weak hand yet. Really I've only got about 100 rounds through it and most of that was over a chronograph. I had 7 alpha, 11 Charlie's and 2 deltas because the gun shoots low. I'm going to order an adjustable rear sight right now and actually sight it in before the next match. Had 30 (I think) rounder next with not much movement. It was an odd stage for any 8 round gun, there was no way to shot it without a standing reload. I actually had 2 smooth reloads and I went 1 for 1 on the steel. It wasn't a superstar run or anything special but that was the moment I got my spark back, I feel hooked again! I really like the unpredictability of this trigger (for me because I'm not use to it yet) it actually surprises me when it goes off so I'm aiming and focused again (tied that into the first paragraph!). Had a few more field courses after that and it was getting hot. Some good things and some bad things, the stage designs were awesome. Good mix of hoser stuff and movement planning, not a ton of hard leans only a gymnast with no spine can do lol. The a short course called Anderson standards, I got 16th overall and I knew it was good at the time. Only had one delta and the rest alpha. By this time I learned where the gun was hitting so using Lil Kentucky windage with that low shooting gun. I think I won my squad. Speaking of witch we had an amazing squad and that always makes the day better. Good mix of goofballs, timmies, uspsa guys, hot chicks (my wife) everyone was laughing, helping and learning. Second to last stage was another classifier, fluffys revenge 2. I had a good time 4.82 but had 4 Charlie's so I just missed A class with a 6.63HF. All the Charlie's were just below the A. That showed me that it's possible to meet my goal. The last stage was a big one and I needed exactly 8 hits in the first position. 4 small poppers to start, one big step back and 2 paper, then a 15 foot sprint. Of course I had one miss on a popper so my whole stage plan went out the window. Had to start the stage with an unnecessary standing reload and that just threw me off big time. I ran past my second position because I was struggling with the reload trying not to break the 180. The stage didn't get much better than that after that but I learned a lot on what I have to work on. All in all I'd say the day went perfect for my first time shooting a revolver. I'm hoping to have some time to work on things this week and I'm planning on shooting Lipsa Sunday
  8. That's awesome man, thank you. I seen that one elwhen I was searching but the screw holes looked off. I just watched a YouTube video of a guy putting it on a 617 and it looks like there are more holes under the stock sight on the frame. I'm going to order it right now
  9. I think it's the best powder made but it's been out of stock forever
  10. That sucks, the rounds get hung up on there. How the heck you supposed to load theses things fast?
  11. Do you guys just take the dremmel to the cylinder?
  12. I just got my gun back from Clark custom. I had pretty much everything done and I also asked for the cylinders to be opened all the way up for moon clips only. This is all they did. Can this edge where the arrow is be chamfered? I'm using 38 short colt starline brass and tk clips. Also is the center star thing (that makes the cylinder turn) supposed to be all bear up like that? This gun is brand new, less than 300 rounds.
  13. Put me in the boat of gotta have classifiers for me to care. But yeah I'm tired of the BS going on at uspsa. I really wish we could just have ipsc
  14. Federal register / vol. 87, no 80/Tuesday April 26,2022/ rules and regulations page 24734 through page 24842
  15. I was thinking the same thing but I a 627 wouldn't that short brass give the bullet a lot of unsupported flight once it leaves the brass floating to the barrel plus the cylinder gap causing all that pressure loss?
  16. Im about to start this adventure as well and I've seen a lot of people on the internet using clays to. To me that's weird because all the 9mm stuff says don't use clays for 9mm.
  17. I'm just going with the five year because who knows if the organization will be around much longer after that. I doubt they will give refunds if they go under like all the others that came and went. I hope I'm wrong but really I could care less at this point. It just sucks that I have so many guns that are good for nothing except this game.
  18. Do you want an autotrickler v2 for that scale? I recently upgraded to the v3
  19. I can't believe this. I'm so sad now. I was hoping to meet him someday. I've talked to him on the phone a few times, amazing person.
  20. I'm hearing a lot of "I want minor only because I'm tired of people that are better than me getting an unfair advantage!"
  21. Nope, Delaware is 10 rounds unless you have a ccw permit then you can have 17, like I said over a quarter of the states are 10 round states. Quinton is a terrible example for anything, less than 30 people shoot that match, I don't even shoot that match. CJ and OB always have over 80 shooters and there is always more people shooting L10 than regular limited. Shooting hi cap divisions with 10 round mags is a disadvantage on the newer classifiers that have movement. Wish you were here, righty tightly, trigger freeze there is a bunch of them, I've shot them in 10 round states and in regular states and I'm always a full second faster without the mag changes. Killing a division just because YOU say so and probably don't even shoot it is and it's really weird that you care so much. There are a lot of people that worked hard to get their classification in said division and you want to take that away from them? Myself, I don't really care about L10 but I always consider other people in my choices, maybe you should to.
  22. There's about 13 states right now that are limited to 10 rounds and there will probably be more in the future. There are plenty of people in those states that do not want to break any laws and also shoot in other states. LEAVE LIMITED 10, PRODUCTION AND SINGLE STACK ALONE!
  23. No one actually knows they just like to complain about how people do things and if they did it how much better it would be, if they actually did anything. Its usually the same guys that are walking the stages while people are busy hammering nails and setting up. It's also sometimes the guys that think they would have won if the match had stages designed by themselves, you know, if they actually designed stages. Really, who the f*#k cares? It's a day out of the house with your buddies shooting guns and mouths. Have fun and don't be a f*#kin Fudd. People take time away from the family to volunteer and shooting this stuff, don't ruin someone's day by complaining about their work. To anyone else reading this, don't tell me people shouldn't complain about the complainers in some arrogant way, because that's just guys saying don't call an a_-hole, an a_-hole.
