I started out shooting ppc long time ago then friends got me to try out ipsc. Coming from ppc i only had a 6 shot so i had to shoot minor against the 625 which was ok because I still had a chance . After awhile i picked up a 625 and the playing field was even . Now for what ever reason they changed it so the 8 shot revolers can play, now im back to where i started playing this game unless i go out and spend 2500 to 3000 on a new gun and rig which is not going to happen soon, like RJH said just to be shooting by myself or if im lucky one other rovolver guy. Now the other thing that really burn my A$$ are guys who come out to match and shoot revolver only because they have a chance to win a new revoler in a draw.then they go back to shooting there semi.
