rjkelso Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hey Guys, I've been loitering for quite some time but have not jumped in. I mostly shoot IDPA. I want to start shooting revo more. Randy is working on a 625 for me. I want to shoot USPSA and ICORE. I would like an eight shooter for ICORE. I don't know the divisions and can't seem to find that info on the ICORE site. The 627s and 327 M&P are both nice. I amd leaning toward the 327 M&P. I hefted one in a store in San Diego the other day and was impressed. Plus I do like the way it looks. Help me do the right thing guys. Thanks Kelso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sargenv Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Um.. the only divisions for ICORE are limited and open.. there are sub divisions like 6 shooter, IDPA, Lady, Junior, Single action, and um.. snubby I think.. I tend to shoot a 627 - 8 shot in the local ICORE matches but usually defer to my 610 for the IRC since I can shoot it more accurately on the standards than I can my 5" 627. Most people shoot a 627 in either limited or open configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Kelso, I'd recommend the 627 over the 327. The latter gun is really too light for competition shooting. Randy will tell you he's finding the scandium frame guns aren't holding up well under heavy competition use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltermitty Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 There are only two divisions from section 5 of the rule book. Open is anything with the modifications listed, everything else is Limited. http://www.icore.org/rulebook.html#Equipment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 you will have to shoot an 8 shot revo to be competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 you will have to shoot an 8 shot revo to be competitive. Not if the ICORE "6-round neutral" stage design rules are followed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I do! That is why I bought a 7 shooter! The 686+ is cheaper than the 8 shot guns but you have to get it cut for moonclips which does add to the cost. I haven't been shooting ICORE for long but when I finish a stage I usually pick up a bunch of clips with one bullet left in them. -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjkelso Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 Thanks for the response guys. I want to shoot the IRC in June so I want to be shooting alot between now and then, I don't need hassles. And I don't want to buy just because I think the 327 looks cool. I really like this forum. Lots of enthusiasm and support. One other question. Does the 8 shot revolver have a place in USPSA? Thanks again, Sarge, Carmoney, Walt, TM.

fdkay Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Yes, the 8 shot does have a spot in uspsa. You will shoot in production. You WILL have a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltermitty Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Yes, the 8 shot does have a spot in uspsa. You will shoot in production. You WILL have a good time. If you can remember to reload every 6 shots you can shoot in revolver... ...but my 7th shot indicator goes off quite often on my 625 so I know I would be bumped into Open quite often.

Randy Lee Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Middleman, who posts here gave the sku# for a Pro series 627 which is a production run 8 shot rather than a PC gun. I haven't seen it yet, but I know it exists. I like having 8 rounds for ICORE because I'm accuracy impaired. That said, Mike proved that a six shot 625 in front of a skilled operator is more than competitive at the IRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you can leave your moons out in front of your belt. Having two extra shots in Icore is very nice. I would buy an 8 Shot. Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjkelso Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 I've seen one, though with a 4in barrel. I'll try to upload the pic. Kelso http://www.brianenos.com/forums/style_images/1/folder_mime_types/gif.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mainus Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I might possibly have an 8 shot for sale that would have you all ready to go for open class. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
