robot Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) We shot at a special IDPA match over the weekend and I came in 2nd ESR Overall right behind Tom Kettels, ESR Master. we had a 13 revolver shooters at this match using a wide range of revolvers from S&W 625s, 686s, Colt M1917, S&W M1917, and a vintage nickel S&W Military & Police. Here's a video of my performance, there are other videos of revolver shooters in my channel. Enjoy! Edited November 22, 2010 by robot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBorland Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Looking great, Loke. Nice run! Couple things: Looks like you're keeping the gun fairly horizontal when ejecting the empty clip, but then having to give it a quick vertical flip to actually clear the clip. You could probably save time by getting your gun vertical earlier, e.g. as soon as the gun's opened. What's with the mis-fires? Were they reloads? Had you been having "issues" earlier? Finally, did you check the muzzle & crown of your gun afterward? Maybe some plywood splinters still in there? Great shootin! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom thanks Tom! yes I need to flip my gun earlier, I keep holding on to it in fear of it falling. Have to build more confidence there. the mis-fires are from lightstrikes. I am using Federal primers and have tightened down my strain screw at 7lbs. Perhaps I missed one or two firm primer seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z Sr Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Try using a "Lee" handpriming tool with Federal primers, yes it's extra work, but better than light hits, I also clean the primer pockets, I know extra work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
