jester121 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 At the past 3 matches I've attended, I've heard one or two people talking about shooting revolver division next year, and I was curious if anyone else is hearing this elsewhere. I also know two guys who have already bought 625s and are gearing up for a full season in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecmc Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Gearing up because of the proposed 8 shot minor rule? or just in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisenhow Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I've placed my order for 5" 627 PC and have been lobbying my area director every time I see him . I even lobbied the NROI director after I found out he didn't get a vote at Area 7 this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnRodriguez Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 for the 2014 western single stack match, there sould be a pretty good showing for the revo match that will be shot when the RO's shoot. A lot of the rio salado regulars are gearing up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcb Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I know of at least one long time shooter at out club, that does not normally shoot revolver division that bought an 8-shot because of all the talk of the rule change. We also have a new shooter that is shooting an 8-shot in Production. I am sure he will move to Revolver if allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_henry Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 They are all fools if they switch to revolver. I am switching just to see how poorly I can do in yet another division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brnhp35 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Have a couple of guys who got out of uspsa a few years ago talking about coming back with wheelguns (they were burned out years ago and want to do something different if come back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hey Mike, what are you going to run at the Area 2? i'd seen you are signed up for production Rich Brethour and I have a side bet.....I'm shooting my XD against him with a 627. I was trying to establish that 8-shot revolvers are not truly competitive in Production Division, and Rich was the only one to take me up on my challenge!

mcb Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 They are all fools if they switch to revolver. I am switching just to see how poorly I can do in yet another division. I am looking foreword to watching you talk to you new revolver when the moonclips won't go in the way you talk to you single stack when it wont run. At least you don't have to relearn how to count.

JohnRodriguez Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I normally shoot my 627 in L10, since I don't wanna change my holster. I'll looking to changing my holster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 The problem is we are trading a perceived "one gun" game for a game that will be in fact "one gun", so I don't see how the so called "provisional" rule is going to help us any.

I am not see this. I ran fourteen stages with both guns using identical setups and the difference between the two was less than 2.3% http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=176874&p=1996111 Maybe it will be different with the Masters and Grand-Masters but the reload advantage did not dramatically beat Major scoring in my B-class hands.

jhgtyre Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 The problem is we are trading a perceived "one gun" game for a game that will be in fact "one gun", so I don't see how the so called "provisional" rule is going to help us any. Well it isn't "provisional" its a proposed rule change and the "one gun" is still in production unlike the current "one gun" that has been discontinued for years. I hope to shoot more USPSA Revo if the rule change goes through and I already have 2 6 shooters that are competitive based on the current rules (3 if you count the wife's gun). Sadly they aren't that much fun to do a ton of standing reloads with. -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Under the old rule, the perception was that you had to have a 625. But any 38/40/44/45 revolver could be competitive, from many different manufacturers. Look at Blueridge and his Alaskan, I shot a 28 for years. So the perception was just that, a perception. With the new rule (provisional/proposed/whatever it is), I am seeing the perception change to you have to have a 627 because the 625 is not going to be viable any longer and there aren't really any alternatives to that gun. Taurus makes the 608 but it seems to be unreliable. I just worry that perception wise we have gone from a bad perception to a worse perception.

Bubber Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I would not discount the Taurus 608 completely. They are inexpensive and may serve some shooters well. Most of the Revo shooters I know do not shoot as much as some of us do, and the 608 may hold up well for them. I had one and shot it a lot, 5000 rounds in less than 3 mos. I made it through the Handgun championships. The challenges will be good moonclips and capping the ports to allow it to compete in Revo Class if the rule change makes it. Just a thought, later rdd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom E Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I would not discount the Taurus 608 completely... The challenges will be... capping the ports to allow it to compete in Revo Class... Unless the rules get changed to allow any OE factory barrel on minor 8 shooters. That would also allow the S&W V comps. Porting/comps have been regularly called ineffective with minor loads.

They watch the other shooters then watch revo shooters who appear to be mostly standing in front of target arrays reloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
