SSR - Same rig, but ammo loaded in Auto Rim brass in HKS slow-loaders. Still haven't decided on a loader carrier, as yet. Will follow the thread with interest.

Duane Thomas Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I may be switching back to my M67 in the future. Why? The more highly visible, adjustable sights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revchuck Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I may be switching back to my M67 in the future. Why? The more highly visible, adjustable sights? That's part of it. A bigger part of it is that it was my first IDPA gun, the one I shot the MS '98 state match and the '99 Nationals with, and took a class from Ray Chapman with. It's the gun I bought sight unseen from SOG via a local gunsmith that arrived with a bulged barrel. He didn't want to go through the trouble to return it, so I called Ron Power and found he had a factory take-off barrel from a PPC gun he had built, and then called Alex Hamilton at Ten Ring Precision in El Paso to arrange to have it installed. Power sent the barrel directly to Hamilton, Hamilton installed it and sent it back to me, and it was back in my hands in eight days, needing only three clicks of windage to zero it. It's the gun I put 750 rounds of 158 grain RNL through in one day (at the Chapman class) with no leading. There's a UPS story that goes with it, too; when the UPS driver dropped it off, Hamilton wasn't there, so the UPS guy left it on the doorstep and signed the receipt himself as "Dr. Porch". It currently wears a set of checkered Craig Spegel grips, even though the gun needs to be re-finished to get all those scratches off. When it gets re-finished, it'll probably get some engraving as well. I'm going to try and prove Thomas Wolfe wrong and see if I can go home again.

T Bacus Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 A Smith & Wesson 686SSR with Houge grips and a Fiber optic front sight. I will be adding the Wiegand rear sight blade in the near future. Holster is the Safariland 561 with the plastic back plate replaced with a Wilson leather one. Speedloaders are Jet Loaders for use during the course of fire and an HKS to charge the gun at the line. Speedloader holders are from TKW. I'm shooting SSR until the revolver match near Atlanta next year. Hey Duane, bet that match would make a neat article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane, here's a link about the "Bubberized" Speedloaders. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...0&hl=Bubber The speedloader in my avatar is Bubberized. COF, I give Bubber all the credit. He showed me how to do them. I just modified the process to the lazy man's way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane Thomas Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Bill, What is/are the advantage(s) to the Bubberized Comp IIIs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Sherman Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 There is less material to cause any friction of the bullets leaving the speedloader and going into the cylinder. I made the mods to my speedloaders and they do work better than stock. However, it does shorten thier life a little. Bill,What is/are the advantage(s) to the Bubberized Comp IIIs?

steel1212 Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Ok guys I see everybody uses a little bit of everything for SSR. What would be the go to speed loaders and holders for a 686? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Nesbitt Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Bill,What is/are the advantage(s) to the Bubberized Comp IIIs? Duane, what Dennis said. Sometimes the rim of the cartridge will hang up on the un Bubberized loaders. Then the speedloader won't fall away when you try to close the cylinder. It causes me to say bad words.
