I sorted thru (3) S&W 617s at a local dealer. I found that the crowns on the muzzles where so far off (not concentric) that you couldn't miss it. It looked like someone took a chamfer tool in a hand drill and didn't care a bit. I also saw other minor defects. I passed on the guns - they are not cheap!!!! The thing to remember is that you cannot inspect quality into a part. QC verifies that the parts meet print dimensions and tolerances. The fault often is production trying to meet the takt time. (Lean manufacturing is a good tool but can be taken to extremes) QC is the gate keeper but often gets pressured into passing parts. 38stupid

I purchased 10 round magazines when I shot the SC in 05. I was worried about the laws in Kalifornia. I called a bunch of "officials" to get an exact ruling on bring my hicaps into Kalifornia and could not get a clear answer. 38stupid

My old boss has a Redhawk that he shot lead and jacketed bullets out. The accuracy was terrible - I shot it myself just to make sure it wasnt my bosses hold. I examined the bore and found it was badly leaded. After cleaning out the lead with a brass patch and an electrode it shot the gun again. The accuracy was better and began to worsen. The barrel finish was VERY bad (rough). We pored a some lead slugs and proceeded to hand lap the barrel over a couple of nights. Long story short - the gun shoots accurately now with a variety of ammo. 38stupid

I have shot a lot trap in the past along with some skeet. A few years ago I started shooting some sporting clays (Rochester Brooks by the way) and was in lower 40's to mid 40's on occasion - depending on which coarse I shot. I just purchased a Browning 625 Sporting Clays model and it fits me VERY nicely. I tried one out before I purchased it and I only missed a couple of birds in trap and skeet. I tried some (5) stand and did fine. I just want someone who is an good instructor to make sure that I am on the right track and can provide some insight into the game of sporting clays. 38stupid

I understand that to shoot the ultra lightened setups that you need to set the primer back .004". Other than a Dillon 1050 what can you use to accomplish this? 38stupid

I like the Dvorak Trigger Scan unit. You basically you lock the gun in a fixture and the machine with cycle the trigger. The computer will overlay multiple trigger pulls. I has been the most accurate method I found. If you do "fixture" the gun correctly you will get very consistent results. The system is also capable of measuring lock time. 38stupid

Sorry, I just shot the PSA match in Hershey PA was thinking of their classification system. I shot (1) IDPA match and dont plan on shooting anymore. Ill stick with steel shooting and maybe play with USPSA revolver. The wood Houge grips are exactly what I wanted. Thanks. 38stupid

I just picked up a 625 for stock class shooting. At different matches I have seen some really nice wooden grips for the 625 revolver. They have a wide base and nice lines. I can find them on the web. Can anyone suggest some nice competition grips for the 625? 38stupid

I am going to the NRA meeting in Phoenix. I plan on spending a lot of time in the Browning booth. I had a Citori trap gun years ago and kick myself for selling it. Not being able to shoot them makes the decision much more difficult. Bob
