I disagree, I’ve never seen anyone compete with a J-frame and I’ve never seen anyone EDC a 625. However my edc is a 4” 627 8-shot. And I almost shot revolver exclusively in IDPA and USPSA. So to use the CO/ appendix carry argument “Why can’t I shoot what carry, I thought this was run what you brung.” I jest. Just recently within the last two weeks, I switched to ESP.
There maybe millions of k/l frames out there, but IDPA don’t have a million revolver shooters. I bet there is less then 100 active revolver shooters in idpa.
Yeap I was one of those guys, that bought a Staccato C for CCP, no longer viable, que sera sera. Going to ten makes perfect sense to me, Glock 19 being the most popular carry gun, why restrict to 8.
These are my opinions.
