Beats me. I'm not a member yet, but it's only 30 bucks to join.
I'm a member ... Was just curious ... as I thought they let anyone shoot last year ... didn't see that addressed on the registration page.

I wonder if this is ICORE members only this year??

Usually ... live ammo isn't allowed in the safe area.
If you have a gun sleeve ... you can leave your ammo/magazines in your range bag and not take the entire range bag to the safe area.
Put on your belt wherever you like ... Remove the gun (in it's sleeve) from your range bag and go to the safe area.
Holster your gun ... practice your draw ... what ever and when you are done leave the safe area ... put the sleeve back in your range bag.
At the end of the day ... sit your range bag down somewhere ... remove all ammo/magazines and throw in the range bag.
Take your sleeve (only) to the safe area and bag it.
Leave the safe area.
Take off your belt/holster where ever you like.
IMHO ...

Lee doesn't really offer the Bulge Buster for 9mm because 9mm isn't a straight case.

Does the comp-tac revolver come in LH.
Sure ... go to the SpeedBeez link (previously posted) and they allow you to select left or right.
If you want a left from the Dillon link I guess you just have to call.

Does anyone have a 650 with the inline fab ergo roller handle and 9" ultra mount and able to measure the height of the handle from bench top?
Yep ... I have both ... AND ... the center of the roller handle (at rest) is 16 1/4 inches above the bench top.
-
OK OK ... should we go straight for the EPP (24") thing or a "gentle" (softer) roller??
-
I need just "ONE" more rule change to push me over the edge!!

Oh boy ... sigh ...
OK ... who has been practicing shooting stages w/ their rimfire revolver (not steel challenge).
Just curious how the brass has been falling right out of those cylinders ... and those speed loaders are working ... (or do they make moon clips for 617s now??).

There is a huge advantage to 8 over 6, especially in icore. In fact that’s the largest difference the game has ever seen. We’ve talked about this 1000 times: from 2 shooters the same level, 6 round guns don’t have a chance against 8s.
No one is saying L6 would become major, this survey is to add a 5th, 6th and 7th division.
Well ... some of what I said was in jest .. but ... I have a 5 inch 627 and I love shooting it ... AND ... it gets real frustrating when so often ... all you see at matches are the silly setups that go out of their way to over compensate for 6 round guns.
The 6 target ... triple tap ... limited shot arrays ... stuff like that.
At my last match one of the stages had you starting in a box in front of two targets (about 5 feet away) ... you had to put three rounds on each ... Then you ran about 10 yards and stood in another box and had to put three rounds on two targets. From the second position you "could have" put a pair on some targets in the next shooting area ... BUT ... you had to be "in that shooting area" to engage any of those targets (per stage description).
The whole match they pretty much locked you down (by stage design) to keep the extra shots (in your 8 shot revolver) from being anything more than insurance for a "fail to fire",
That's what I see at ICORE ... Am I an exception??
Not the case in USPSA ... 8 shot is the way to go there (IMHO) ...

The Survey needed more details.
> snip <
Said yes to snubby but also commented on survey that what is the definition of a snubby?
> snip <
Needed more info to make a decision and a thread like this to discuss it before the survey was sent.
Eggzactly!!
When you read the question it was like something smacked you in the back of the head and made you think ... "Hmmm ... why am I feeling they might NOT be talking about 5 shot J frames."

No, it was an opinion on adding L6 Major division. Scoring is the same as L6 and every other division, only difference between L6 and L6 major would be the power factor.
OK then ... Thanks!!
I certainly misunderstood that one ... If there is no scoring benefit then yes ... uh ... no comment.

See, this is where the confusion is I think. There is no major scoring.
Same scoring as other divisions
I'm pretty sure they asked in the "survey" an opinion on allowing "Major scoring" ...
-
I think it just said "less than 3 inch barrel" or such for the snubby ... I'm ready ... I think a 627 w/ the 2.625 barrel would be perfect for this category (or 686 ... 66 ... no real advantage for an 8 shot in ICORE these days).
How fast are those speed loaders for the rimfire revolvers??
Since it seems such a rare occurrence to see a stage where there is an advantage to have an 8 shot revolver (except for saving a reload because of a mis-fire) ... the major scoring would be a game changer for the 625s ...
Anyone w/ a small caliber gun would have to kick up to longer 357 cases to make major and those are a pita w/ moonclips.
Lets see ... my favorite stage these days ... 6 targets ... triple tap each ... shots limited ... and a boost for major scoring (perhaps 18 possible bonus points as well) ... Wow ... what's new??
IMHO ... 8's are great for USPSA; Steel Challenge; Weekday Steel Matches ... not for ICORE it seems.
-
It's tough having only 6 shots (major or otherwise) in USPSA …
> snip <
The 8 shots work fine at USPSA (great practice … don't have to pick up brass); Steel Challenge and the weekday steel matches.

I noticed my 5 inch (40) Core starting to eject brass "limply" at about 3500 rounds (they just about fell out of the gun at my feet).
The ejector appeared undamaged so I removed it and cleaned out a whole bunch of carbon/sludge crap trapped in the slot.
The cleaning fixed the problem and it returned to tossing brass far and hard.

Eggzackly!! AND I think USPSA has already helped revolver a great deal.
Personally ... I would have "never" bought an 8 shot revolver if USPSA had not changed the rules (Jan 2014 IIRC).
I would still be shooting ICORE w/ a model 10 and jet loaders.
IMHO it (the 8 shot and everything that goes with it) would not have been worth the trouble/expense just to shoot in ICORE.
-
I will stand by my comment ... because ... IMHO ... I am seeing some real "outside the box" suggestions/comments in this thread that I have never seen or thought about before.
Refinement; justification etc etc ... can come later. I appreciate your post as well ... great info ... stats ... Thanks ...

Make Revo registration half the normal price, more people will sign up. Stop giving a discount to juniors and give it to the revo shooters.
+1 Wow!! Good stuff coming out of this thread!!

IMHO ... optic equipped revolvers really belong in Carry Optics or a subset of Carry Optics. The revolvers were already on the Production list.
At least you would be scored minor. Heck ... give us CO-R ... and remove any (Production) holster/belt equipment restrictions.
Otherwise ... just shoot Open like SFish says and be sure to put a "-Rev" suffix on your first name when you register for the match.
Billy-Rev Baltimore
Tommy-Rev Tulsa
Phil-Rev Phoenix
Or .. they could make a class ... like Teen; Military; Senior; Law Enforcement etc ... just have the match director add Revolver as a class (to allow an opportunity to identify/select revolver results easily).
Or not ...

I had also replace the striker with a new striker.
Well ... that's pretty much "it" then ... I would just make sure it is unloaded and give it to your dog.

That chart is for CANADA. Everthing nationwide is limited to 10 rounds, including Open and PCC.
Wow ... that's disappointing. Even when the whole country has limited round count there is no benefit to revolver.
-
Ha! In that chart ... the biggest crowd is the people that shoot 10 rounds!!
AND ... that is funny ... w/ I shoot a "magazine" gun I like to shoot production or L10 ... The high cap stage planning is completely different.
Have you even noticed ... every time you leave a shooting position you reload whether you need to or not??
Arizona ICORE (revolver) State Championship in October
in Revolver Match Announcements and Discussions
Posted · Edited by pete627
edit: IMHO ... no class/division only is kinda cool .. no sandbagging ... no classes w/ 1or 2 shooters.
OK ... I see there is no entry of class (at registration) ... You only select an ICORE division to participate. Master, C or Unclassified ... no matter.
AND ... It doesn't say it is an ICORE Revolver Championship ... just a Revolver Championship ... so it appears it is just an open revolver match that happens to be using ICORE rules.
No requirement to be an ICORE member.
OK .. Got it! Thanks ...
