He is the one guy in the world I hope to meet some day.
That's an easy enough goal, call S&W and ask when he'll be in your area. He does a dealer tour, travels around the country and spends a day at local S&W dealer's showrooms. He's a nice guy to talk to, he can chat about BBQ, duck hunting, 350 small blocks and not lose a step.
Oh, and 90% of the shooting speed comes from a strong rebound spring. You can't pull the trigger fast if the reset speed is slow.
I can just about guarantee that he wont be coming to my area. I made some enquiries at the beginning of 06 about doing a class at "Bang". It turned out Jerry wouldnt be there when I could be.

"He is the one guy in the world I hope to meet some day."Hey- I like you too! Seriously- I continue to read and hear more and more good things about the folks in the top levels of the shooting sports. Try getting some jump shot pointers from Allen Iverson some time!

Im not sure that I understand this.

He did a video called.
Ultimate advanced revolver.
In it he shows how to shoot fast and accurately.
Also draw and reload.

With properly-prepared ammo, my 625 with its 5.25 pound action will NEVER misfire.
I for one would like to have a lighter double action pull on my 625.
With the standard innards it is around 9.5 LLbs.
I fitted a lighter mainspring and rebound spring. But had some light strikes.
When I powered up the mainspring to fire everyone it seems to be overpowering the lighter rebound spring and the trigger won't reset quick enough.
So how do I sort that out.

Al,
check your rulebook: 8.2.3.
A course of fire must never require or allow a competitor to touch or hold a handgun, loading device or ammunition after the "Standby" command and before the "Start Signal" (except for unavoidable touching with the lower arms).
Regards,
Kirby.

Funny how I read that and didn't see the allow portion.
Its past and gone now and not to be worried about but would it be a procedural.

Guys
Believe me I did search and read through 8 pages of posts and couldn't find an answer.
So here goes.
Yesterday I was ROing a stage.
Start position seated at a table, gun on the table empty, all mags on the belt.
No stipulation as to exact hand position.
So when I give the standby the shooter puts his hand close to the gun and puts his weak hand on the magazine in the pouch.
I am thinking you are not supposed to do that but off goes the beep and he shoots the stage does ok so we do the clear gun and holster routine.
I know him well so I say about it and he reckons its ok.
I read through the rule book but can't find anything which says not to do it.
The rule book does say that a stage should not require anyone to start touching the gun or loading devices.
What say you guys.

It always burns to be the victim of fraud. But its a testament to the general shooting community that it hasn't happened before.
I have bought and sold numerous items to and from people on gun boards and so far all good.

The grip on my STI edge is a little too long for my hand.
There is a gap of maybe 3/8 inch between my left hand and the top of the magwell.
I think it would improve my grip if my hand fit snug between the bottom of the trigger guard and the top of the magwell.
Any ideas how to shorten the grip or fill the gap.

I reckon Joe needs to woork on his grip.

Where I shoot it dosen't matter where YOU point so long as the gun points into the backstop.
Not the floor, not the sky, not the sides.
Always into the backstop.

the Merkle-release is still my favourite! But as Mooney wrote - it depends on your taste...
Sascha
I went to pinnacle-guns.com and could only find a release that is a little shorter than the "Merkle-release" pictured. I have small hands and it would be great to try a release that allowed me to keep my grip during a reload. Does anyone know where to buy the "Merkle-release"??
Here you go.

And for a live-fire drill, next time you're at the range, try the following drill.
Set up 3 IPSC targets at 10 yards, about a yard a apart, edge to edge. Only hits in the A box count. On the buzzer draw and shoot one shot at each target - left to right, then repeat left to right, then repeat again left to right - for a total of 9 shots. Check your time, add a half second for each non-A, and note your score. You don't really care about your score that much, just remember it for later. Shoot a 6 - 10 strings, to establish an average score. While you're establishing your average - you're just shooting like you normally would. Don't try any new tricks or anything at all. In the end just know your average score for the drill.
As I was typing part 2, I thought of a way to keep it real.
There won't be a part 2 until you go to the range and do part 1. Then come back and PM me with your average, and I'll reply with part 2.And not just Bruce, everyone please try it - it might be fun.
Then please don't post your results from the drill overall, until I come back and post part 2 (which means it fizzled out)... Or maybe I never will...

I completed part one last night can we have part two before Saturday.

Do you have specs for the different chamber sizes. I probably won't be happy now till I get it reamed.
Al, if your gun reloads fine, don't worry about it. Many of these have already been fixed, maybe yours is one of those.
I can do a reload quite snappy but would quite happily ream the cylinder to gain another tenth.
On the other hand if its not broke don't fix it has always served me well for a motto.

The floating hand is one of the problems with the 625-2, although it's a pretty easy fix. The glitchy double action trigger pull that is often caused by the floating hand can be readily fixed by pulling the hand pin from the trigger and simply installing and properly fitting a "regular" hand to the ratchet.
The bigger issue with the 625-2 Model of 1988 is that the chambers have different (significantly tighter) dimensions, and have a tendency to not allow loaded full-moon clips to drop into place smoothly, particularly as the gun starts to get dirty. This was changed for the 625-3 series (although a few of the old cylinders were used up in guns marked 625-3) and they have been fine ever since, in this regard.
The casual range shooter may not find this a problem, but it was a major issue for competition shooters who expected the 625-2 to reload just as quickly and easily as the 25-2.
This issue was well-documented at the time, and there were several articles in the mainstream gun press about it. S&W obviously didn't change the suffix to 625-3 just because of the switch from the ramp to the patridge front sight blade--that has never been their protocol. In fact, it was the change to the standard hand and correcting the chamber problems that caused S&W to change the nomenclature.
Any gunsmith catering to action shooters in the late '80s will be quite familiar with the problem. The fix was to simply re-ream the chambers to 25-2 dimensions. Not that big a deal, but it required finding a gunsmith with the reamer and pay him to do it.
You still see quite a few 625-2s floating around these days. Again, for the collector or casual shooter, they may be just fine as is. The competition shooter, however, is best off avoiding the 625-2 altogether, or finding one that has already had the repair work done.
My pride and joy is a 625-2.
I was very happy with it till the floating hand messed up.
I have since replaced it with a standard hand and it is working fine.
Do you have specs for the different chamber sizes.
I probably won't be happy now till I get it reamed.

Stay away from the 625-2s for competition, unless the cylinder has already been reamed
Can you elaborate on that.

Sorry,
Should have said.

Trying to get a more consistent FPS. Varying 50 FPS right now, with Titegroup.
I think it pretty much depends what you use the gun for.
I use the fcd and crimp fairly severely because I use it for IPSC and Man v Man.
My primary concern is fast reloads. Quarter inch accuracy is not necessary.
If you are not concerned with fast reloads no need to even use the FCD. In fact a few pople reckon ( and I cannot disprove it) that rounds are more accurate without the FCD.

I use one .
Best option I could find.

I cut mine with a hacksaw and super glued the fabric to the heavy center.
Its ok but not perfect.
If I had to do it again I would sell and buy the proper size.

Not sure if its elevation or altitude I am guessing its elevation if your feet are on the ground and altitude if you are in the air. Someone no doubt will tell me.
Anyways what I want to know is if I go to shoot at a different range and it is 500 ft higher ( above sea level) how will it affect my load and is there a formula to figure out how much to increase/decrease the powder charge to maintain power factor.

You can do some revolver work too. It will only improve your semiauto shooting.
