Umm, I'm not sure I could hit a 10" plate at 35 yards from a bench, let alone all that running around

Reloads tend to be the time consuming thing with revolvers.
-
Like, for example the "Firearms Law / Announcements" forum here. At the top, there's instructions for posting, but there isn't actually a way to create a new thread on a current development in firearms law.

When I took my IPSC NROI course, a red RO jersey was included in the course fee. No sponsor logos on those.
People seem to wear them while officiating, weather allowing.

If the hammer is rubbing on the frame, are the stock shims enough?
-
Anybody know of suitable kydex REVOLVER holsters?
There seems to be some - but not all that much choice.

Pat and I are pretty much the Colorado crew...
I havent shot 6 shot major in several years.
If we ever end up having matches this year ... I might just go and do that (in IPSC). Probably end up being last out of 6 or 10 revolver shooters. Not the last overall, though, if it goes like previous times.
-
In my corner of the world, most have been going for 12", or a little over, in IPSC PCC. That is because 30cm is the shortest we can call "rifle".
-
IDPA in my area has confirmed from IDPA HQ that the Alien is legal for IDPA SSP, ESP and Carry Optics, depending on spec.
... There might or might not be a debate on what kind of dot mounting is legal in CO.

Did someone say oil debate ?

Hands on help would be good.
When I got started, way back, there was no internet for help. I learned by reading a few reloading manuals (local libraries had some, and I found something in second had bookstores too). Then I read carefully the manual that Dillon sent.
-
If it is an ancient Glock with a few dozen k through it, you could have a slide that is cracking at the ekection port.
-
I only have the little Dillon SDB, and I take it down after reloading. I scew it to a THICK piece of plywood, and clamp the plywood to the sturdiest surface available. Now that is an old and heavy table of solid wood. At the previous place, I used the "permanently" installed work areas in the kitchen.... Our current kitchen setup doesn't leave space for clamping anything.

... "white Glock outline" on the rear sight ...
My old (late 80s) GP100 has the white outline. Or had: it is pretty much faded because I haven't been cleaning the sight.....
So,
- front sight is straight
- rear sight is adjusted all the way to one side, and it isn''t enough.
? Is the whole rear sight assembly straight on the frame?
? Is the barrel on straight?

There's lots of sale ads on that site that I wouldn't touch. Companies that don't seem to exist, persons who seem impossible to contact, not to speak about locating. Not going to risk my hard earned money. I recommend nobody else does either.

Did the require any form of contact to provide your FFL information before “shipping” became the order status?
The sale site is located in Finland. FFL and stuff that like isnt relevant here. However, from what people have been able to dig up, the suspect company might or might not be in USA..... All the more reason to suspect things aren't quite right.

... The pull is around .100 longer than the 929 measured bottom tip of trigger. The GP Trigger is very smooth feels light but bit longer....
Apparently, it is possible to make the Super GP100 trigger pull shorter. A couple of IPSC Revolver shooters were discussing it on facebook a while ago.
edit:
found my previous comment on that:
Henrik F. Nielsen: A lot of the travel is not necessary in the end of the stroke and can be removed by careful fitting the hammer and trigger
Olle Lind: I've done that on a few S&W. Makes wonder to the speed

Second, N310 temperature sensitivity is an established fact. I used to use it for my 45 bullseye load. The same batch of ammo ran 800 fps at 85 degrees and would not even cycle the slide at 30. I chrono'd it at various temps and saw a steady decline at the temps got lower. Believe what you want. I now use e3 for 45 bullseye, 40sw major and minor and 9mm minor.
I've been loading plated 230gr bullets to IPSC Major for .45ACP, with N320. Yesterday, a guy at the range gave me a couple of rounds of his coated 230gr with N310, to try. The N310 rounds felt clearly softer. No chrono was available at the range. Temps were a bit cool: near 0 Celsius.

I saw that. But whats the point practicing w/ a set up if I could not use it in matches. Just my take. Ive never shot in cold weather. But i do my best to practice in match set up.
With the belt over a coat, you get to shoot outdoors. There aren't any indoor ranges in nearby towns, now, where you can shoot a centerfire firearm.
Today, it wasn't actually all that cold: about 0 Celsius around mid day. I was OK with a heavy sweater tucked into my pants, for a while. I put a coat on while picking up brass and loading magazines. Some others just had a belt over the coat, for convenience. Their holsters and magazines were close enough to what they'd have in an IPSC competition-legal setup.

In ipsc we cannot put or cinch our comp belts over a coat
Not for competition, as I wrote. Sometimes it is the practical thing for cold weather practice outdoors.

the definition I have been given by several RMI is can they draw the gun without the belt being pulled up their torso, or the rig twisting around them as they move (think holster moving from 3:00 to 1:00) Basically is it acting as you would expect a gun belt to?
(Range Lawyer hat ON)
A RO cannot interpret rules: only apply them. A Range Master might have to make a call when the RO cannot make a rule work. That RM call isnt a universal Interpretation. If you need a universal Interpretation, it surely needs to come from the highest level (IPSC Executive Council in IPSC, not sure who can do it in USPSA).
(Range Lawyer hat OFF)

I think the USPSA wording is more open to interpretation: what exactly constitutes "securely fixed".
Some do go to IPSC practice (definitely not matches) in cold weather, so that they cinch the belt over a warm coat.
-
Aaaanndd, we have another difference between IPSC and USPSA.
IPSC Rule is:
5.2.3 Unless otherwise specified in the written stage briefing, the belt carrying the holster and all allied equipment must be worn at waist level. The belt or the inner belt or both must be either permanently sewn at the waist, or secured with a minimum of three belt loops attached to shorts or trousers.
5.2.3.1 Female competitors in all Divisions are subject to the same conditions as above, except that the belt carrying the holster and all allied equipment may be worn at hip level. If another belt is worn at waist level, the holster and all allied equipment must be placed on the lower belt. -

Holy s#!t, that was a long time ago!!! even before USPSA. Something like 1982?
Not sure when exactly they were produced. I have another Ernie Hill FasTrack, bought new in mid '90s - for a G19 of all things...
I'm pretty sure I got the Bianchi in the '90s too. Don't recall where I got them. Mail order almost certainly.
-
Give it a try. Your pressures might be low at 7gr: incomplete burning and big deviations in velocity?
I'm pretty sure I got the Bianchi in the '90s
are today's shooters better than ever before?

If we look at a 40 or 50 year time span, a lot has happened.
- current guns are pretty good
- current holsters are pretty fast compared with what was there way back when
- competition ammo is optimized for easy shooting
- more people train more
- People like Brian and Rob L. , and many others, have figured out efficient ways to shoot in competition.
It is a while since I read Jeff Cooper's 'To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth', but I remember that he thought a 10 second El Presidente (all As) was pretty good.
