This thread seems to have been inactive for a while and since it relates to 771s I hope no one minds if i ask a question. I am using 4 771s in production Div. The top of my mags are very close to my body and I find myself often grabbing some shirt as well as the mag. How can I modify either pouches or belt so that the base of the mag is about a half inch further from my torso. al

Guys Does it take really expensive software to be able to superimpose one image over another. Like if you wanted to show two attempts at the same stage to see where you made/lost time. al

What is SD ? al

I would like to add my support for Hpward A very helpful guy and not afraid to share his knowledge Thanks Howard al

It turned out to be a bit more than 2 weeks. Picked it up today on the way to the range, pulled a boresnake through the barrel just to make sure there was no gunk in there and put about 300 rounds through it. Perfect operation, a few different reloads and a couple of different factory loads. Ate them all and no hiccups. It has a 12 - 14 llb double action pull and about a 6 llb single action pull. I would have liked it a bit lighter. al

Since I have got an extended cylinder release for my S&W 625 I can dispense with my JM grip and get a rubber one. Can someone give me a contact for Bob Purdue. I might like to try one of those big butt grips. Failing that I will probably get a regular Hogue one al

I hesitate to chime in because there are so many more experienced people on the forum. But here goes. I think you can learn and improve by shooting matches. In reality there is no such thing as a match. Only stages. So go to the match. and shoot stages. Shoot each stage as smooth and with the minimum of mikes or penalties. Pick someone quite a bit better than you and compare your times to his. Then watch how you progress. Talk to people, but be careful who you take advice from. After each day of shooting stages, just for fun see how you finished. You knew you weren't going to win anyway so the higher up the rankings you go the better you feel. When you are good enough that you might win the match, still just shoot stages and forget about the match until it is over. Don't shoot to win. Shoot to be as good as you can be and you may just win. al

They told me $600 Dave Skinner says some "critical" parts will be changed in the STI version. al

I had the pleasure to meet the Irish importer of Grand Power products late last year. He gave me two models to try and more ammo than I could use. It was a very over cast day, too dull to use my chrono. There was about the same muzzle rise as with my STI .40 but because I couldn't chrono the ammo I didn't learn as much as I should have. al

pardon. Should have read the post properly before replying al

At 30 yds I slow down and squint a bit and still mostly get As al

Neat. ??? What a crazy concept. Neat. ??? If that don't beat all. Neat ??? This interweb thing gets crazier every day. Neat he says. Neat. neat. dammit mumble al

I use it for IPSC so pinpoint accuracy is not my concern. I can plop a mag of 17 into a four inch circle at 15 yds without squinting so thats good enough for me. Maybe someone who shoots precision can comment. About 10 yrs ago I used Bullseye in .38 special and 9mm powder puff loads and it was terrible dirty. So much so that I stopped using it. Recently it was the only suitable powder available on the day I needed it so I reckoned it would do in a pinch. When I loaded it to major in the fotty I was surprised how clean it burned. So much so that I have decided to stay with it. I must admit that my experience is limited. So far I have only tried VV n340, Power pistol and 231 in the .40. I like bullseye best. al

180g RNFP plated bullet, 1.14 OAL and 4.7g of Bullseye = 175PF clean soft load. al

Jimmy It looks like I am the first to happen upon your post. So here goes. Get yourself a timer with Par function. It dosen't have to be expensive I think most timers have it. This means you can set a second "beep" to occur a set time after the first one. Set it at what ever time it takes you to draw and align your sights on a target and then after a few draws when you can comfortably draw and align the sights well within that time you can reduce it. If I may caution you against rushing and concentrating on time. Its better to concentrate on the grip, presentation etc and then when you are doing everything correctly well within the par time you can reduce it a little. al

Ask again in two weeks. al

I like to shoot my 625 also but rather than practice with a .22 revolver which will never be similar to a 625 no matter what you do with it I prefer to dryfire using dummy rounds. I tried speed loaders for a model 17 years ago and you can forget any notion about fast reloads and even if you could reload it fast it still wouldnt be practice for a 625 which uses moonclips Well thats my opinion and I fully realise its worth exactly what you paid for it. al

I fill a bulleye container with spent primers every 12 months or so. al

Maybe a year or two ago I had a terrible problem with broken decapping pins. Turned out the spring which held the case in place was not "snug" enough and was allowing the brass to move just slightly. I "snugged" it up some and no more problems. Which press are you using. al

Do you have any objection if I put it on a couple of shirts. al

I know the feeling. Been mortgage free for 9 yrs now. First thing I did was stop working Saturdays. al
