Both had several holes. Looked like casting flaws.

Seen 2 here locally just like it, in the rail area of the frame.

Put them last and put the timer and scoresheets down when it's their turn to shoot. If your not a part of helping reset then move on. If they ask tell the truth, don't be ugly, be honest.

When I used to use one of the early Safariland holsters I had a habit of using a short bungee cord as a walk through strap because I ran a lot of shooters at local clubs back in the good old days. Seemed like good prevention at the time. Now that my holsters have lever locks I let the straps go, but I'm sure you could come up with something similar for your piece of mind. Good question though, Daniel

Try slowfire at that range with dummy rounds mixed in. It helps me a lot when I do that.

I could be wrong but from my understanding Forjas Taurus in Brazil was built by Beretta. When the contract ran out sometime in the late 80's early 90's they were allowed to keep the machinery and started up production of their own. Early models were clones of existing designs but obviously they've come up with several big sellers of their own lately.

Lead styphnate is usually white but can be dyed with inert material. I would assume it's just the sealing compound that was not quite cured when packaged. I would shoot them in practice ammo.

Very nice job, should be a lot of fun!

I'll try to explain. Use the left index finger to push the cylinder release. The right thumb pushes the cylinder through the frame and tilts the muzzle up, pushing the ejector rod with the right index finger. While that's happening the left hand grabs and drops the reload, removing the right thumb from the frame window and closing the cylinder with the left palm while regripping and re-aiming to fire. It's harder to explain than it is to do, and I shot revolver for a long time forever ago and I found it worked well for me. Give it a try and play around with it.

I'm a lefty and was just chuckling to myself about a gun rag article about reversible releases for lefties. Seems pointless to me. We have had to adapt to a right handed world since birth, so to me what's the difference now. The lefties I know and have shot with always just used the index finger for all the above procedures and just shift the grip a hair if necessary. Can't reload with a finger in the trigger guard either that way either. I also think it's easier for a lefty to reload a revolver too, but that's a story for another day.

They were rear falling, I set them up enough times.

Maybe Jay should have offered, but he has performed very well overall. I would guess at this point there's a lot of personal strategy going on, and I'm sure there's a lot we'll never see. They're probably thinking who they can remove as well as who they want to avoid in the eliminations. I still enjoy it enough to follow it till the end.

That's what I would have thought too, just wanted another opinion.

I was on the same squad. There was no portion of the rear popper available. (the port was rather small and offered no real wriggle room for angles) He did hit the large speed plate multiple times and it did not fall, therby never exposing the smaller popper in the rear. In my opinion it was never available for him to engage, and earnestly tried to drive the front popper down. The shooter stopping himself is never an option, but would it have been legal for the RO to notice the situation (while stile monitoring the shooter and gun of course) and call a halt for range equipment malfunction? Just a hypothetical question of course.

Excellent stages, great officials, and very well run. Thanks to all involved who sacrificed their time and efforts to give the rest of us a great time! Thanks to a great squad and good people, that's the most fun I've had in a very long time.

I do believe he has retired or is in the process of leaving his day job. I do know that he has ordered another casting machine, another curing oven and other equipment so that he can swing this full time. He also told me that he was working on a regular hard cast bullet with a new lube that could be sold at a lower price than the coated ones. Samples I saw looked great, and will be trying out his new 200gr .40's as soon as I load some. I think in a few weeks he'll be good to go, but I do have his contact info if anyone wants to reach him personally, just pm me for details.

"Danger Zone", one of my favorite bits... Ordered season 1 and waiting patiently.

I was in the shop the other day and he's expanding a lot. He also plans to offer a hard cast lead bullet and is working on a new lube that can be sold at a lower price and still shoot extremely well. I really like the sample of 200 gr .40's that I picked up the other day. Quality guy with a quality product, I couldn't ask for more.

I got one to try but sent it back. As a lefty it was not truly mirror image and was hard to work the release and get it dialed in. I could not get it to cooperate well with an aluminum STI grip but I'm sure minor fitting would have done it. If they move to redesign it for a lefty as necessary I would try it again.

I've got one from Bobby as well. Only about 1500 rds through it but no problems, feels GREAT with the texture, and mags fly from it when the button's pushed. Give him a call.

Great action pics Edwin. Truly enjoyed watching you shoot!

Good to have you Kevin. Squad 10 did just fine with a sickie and a busted body in it. Great time was had, good match, good weather, couldn't ask for much more!

Honesty is the best policy. I've seen a lot of folks worm out from a mistake. It is what it is, lying is cheating.

Very impressive!

+1 on Bobby at FGW. Great guy and excellent machinist. He's building me a new gun now.
