what equipment race??? open pistols have been the same pattern since 1991. Barnhart shot the typical double stack .35 caliber comp gun as everyone else in 1990 and added a dot sight. the 1991 the race/open pistol is the same as it is today. limited rules are virtually unchanged since limited was first introduced to uspsa.
again i ask, what equipment race????

i believe there is a need for ROs to be reviewed. at the 2000 USPSA nationals i was in the womens' super squad. on one stage there was an ax stuck in a board between 2 black lines. the CRO was very specific that the ax remain in the board and that we take a proper "chopping" grip. the next morning, the mens' super squad shot that stage with the ax standing on end and were allowed to "hold" the ax by placing finger tips on the end of the ax. when several of us protested the change in start postition we were told to leave, by the very same CRO who admonished us to assume the "correct" starting postition. this CRO was TOTALLY in awe of the super squad and ignored the printed range instructions. and i DID let the MD know about it. i was told he would NOT be invited to the nationals as an RO again!

try Nelson Ford at "The Gunsmith" in Phoenix. he does my revo work

the fartherst i have driven for a one day match is about 300 miles, back in the mists of time. for the USPSA nationals in 2000 i drove from Phoenix to Barry.

when ROing a new shooter, if i see they have not seated a magazine i will ask "are you SURE you are ready?" usually this will tip them off that something is not right. for experienced shooters i let it slide. we have all done range sillies and we DO want newbies to have fun and come back!!

with the hodge-podge of implementation of rules/regulations for travelling with firearms since 9/11/01 i will now definately be DRIVING to all matches in the lower 48!

back in the mists of time, before the earth cooled, i put 100,000+ rounds through my single stack 45acp using 8 metal form magazines. the only thing i ever did was replace springs. i would buy them again without hesitation
-
i really doubt the smoke is vaporized lead. we would see much more smoke out of 38 supers if it was lead. many fmj bullits are NOT plated on the base.

Tom, try AZSHOOTER@AOL.COM he has been running a 45acp/230gr combo for quite a while. you need only 522fps so the problem is getting a load LIGHT enough. good luck!

the best compliment our club ever received was at a state sectional at which all clubs designed, built and staffed one stage each. we built a wall with various windows. the stage description was "start in box A, from box B you may NOT shoot over, under or around the wall. box B was 8' deep and 48' wide. only 2 targets were NOT visible from 2 0R more windows. Jerry Barnhart, shooting a single stack 45, blazed through the stage, beating the next Master by 15% ( there was no GM then). he walked off the stage with a mile wide smile and said " now THAT is an ipsc stage".

interesting idea! we used a Pact mk IV indoors years ago and found it was the only one that we COULD adjust so it did not pick up echos. those .03 spits were disconcerting!!

add another $100 and you can get a Jarrett/Dawson LTD Para P14-45 or P16-40
-
dot the trigger???????
-
for the money you cannot beat the dawson/jarret Para. scarcely more than the stock LTD from Para!

Vic is GOOD. #2 at the IRC every year. i miss shooting with him. he is a very fun person to have in your squad. and heaven knows, if he is on the range, YOU know it
-
the revolver i mentioned is CHAMBERED in .32 H&R magnum but is built on a S&W N frame. he was still shooting it last summer in ICORE matches at Rio Salado and Cactus

the amount of flare regulates the bullet/case tightness.
the roll crimp is intended to keep the bullets from moving forward during recoil. if this occurs the cylinder will lock up

you obviously have a very sick 650. i am an RN. send it to ME and i will give it lots of TLC
-
back in the mists of time before the earth cooled, when i ran a comped 45 i used AA5, sorry, forgot the load, with 155swc. with your current load i suggest a lighter recoil spring
-
i run 2 Paras. a 9x 23 race gun and a P14-45 in limited. the race gun has series 70 parts with a 1.75# trigger pull. the P14 has all the factory series 80 pieces and its' pull is right at 3#. since it is also my carry gun i don't want it any lighter

the first accu rail i saw was sticking 2" out the back of the 1911

i have had front serrations on my pistols since before i used a scope. i ALWAYS reach from under the frame and have never touched the barrel. i now use Chuck Heitt scope mounts and you cannot touch the left rear of the slide and i abhor cocking levers. i too hold the pistol with the port at the hood so the RO can more easily see my empty chamber.
No coolness factor ever entered into my decision to have front serrations.
and one of my old shooting buddies suffered a severe gash on his palm when he used the rear serrations and the pistol slam fired, bomars are sharp

i have a hogue monogrip on my bull barreled model 10. however, i borrowed my friend Machelles' 686+ for a match while mine was being rebarreled. she has the Pachmyer Decelerators and i shot better with her revo than i ever did with mine
