Waltermitty Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 We will shoot a classifier so maybe that will be the thing I need to push me into A or higher. Well, it's the only sure way to see if the gun will run. I've lost track of the number of times I've modified a gun, wasted time and ammo testing it, only to have it puke on a classifier during a match. It's like when deer aren't afraid of you the day before season opens, or the day after the season closes. The wheel gun gremlins know when you are testing (and it doesn't matter) and when you are trying to do a decent job scoring with a clock running. It's been proven.

Bwana Six-Gun Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Well the gun worked fine. I however left my brain somewhere else. Happens to the best. I have done it many times. Keep on turning and burning with that wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighVelocity Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 "SEVEN" ........not a very revolver friendly classifier Nothing last night was revolver friendly, evem the MD. The world is not revolver friendly. I am thinking about carmonizing a hammer. Did it make a big difference in the feel of the gun? No light strikes?\ Gary J.

Carmoney Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I am thinking about carmonizing a hammer. Did it make a big difference in the feel of the gun? No light strikes? Gary, there are two functional reasons to skeletonize the hammer: (1) By reducing the weight of the hammer by about half, it speeds up locktime enough that you actually get better primer ignition from the same mainspring tension setting--this allows you to reduce the mainspring tension more than you could reduce it otherwise and still maintain 100% ignition reliability. A fast slap always beats a slow crushing blow when it comes to popping primers. (2) The actual hammer fall will feel noticeably lighter to the shooter, and "jostle" the gun less. Whether this contributes to greater practical accuracy or not is debatable, but it sure feels better. If you've ever dry-fired a 1911 with one of the lightweight hammers like the Koenig hammer made by EGW, you'll know what I'm talking about.

But where else can you shoot on a thurs. nite and have 6 out of 24 shooters shooting revolvers. Now if it will just quit the blizzard thing on thurs nites so I can get there more regular.
