steel1212 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 If my 625 is behind my hip is there a rule on where the moon holders have to be in front of it? Is it ok as long as they are are as close as possible? I know its only 2 in front of the gun so I'll run 2 in front and one on the weak side. What about RWR/Tac reloads.....how the hell do you do that? Any other tips/tricks/cautions for revo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Nesbitt Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 It looks like you are doing weak hand reloads?? Put your moon clips just enough in front of the holster that you don't smack them with the muzzle when you draw. RWR/ Tac loads. You'll have to do a strong hand reload. Open the cylinder and hold it open with your weak hand middle fingers through the cylinder window. Eject the partial moon into your right hand and dump it in your vest pocket. Then reload with your strong hand, regrip the revolver and go to work. You probably won't need this skill very often but it can come in handy sometimes. Other tips: learn to count to six.

Hop LOL, 6 hour round trip or more for a 6 stage match....it sure is fun though Yeah I'm thinking the chances of a revo having to do a RWR or tac load is pretty slim.

nashvillebill Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I know it's too late to help at todays match, but here's what I do for RWR. Instead of smacking the moon out, open the cylinder, hook you fingers around the ejector rod and cup your hand around the cylinder. As you pull the rod with your finger tip the moon should slide right into your palm. UASC is a great time to practice this move. Personally I like baggy pant pockets for mag or moon dumping. My hand is already inside the cover garment so I can just grab the fresh load on the way up from the left pocket. I wear two infront of the holster and one on the left behind center.

steel1212 Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 That was fun!!! I held my own on 5 of the 6 stages. My times where better or dang close to the auto guys on those stages and I had some masters and experts in my squad My one stage MAJOR booboo was when I didn't do a good walk through and realize there was an extra target in the last array...WHOOPS. Went something like this. Pick up bag with weak hand and shoot 3 targets from behind wall, drop bag and reload. Move to next wall and shoot 2 more targets then run to the next longer wall. I'm thinking I have 3 targets to shoot so I pull out the newly tried RWR. Now I'm thinking I'm pretty damn slick until I hear a bunch of WTH, HAHA, UHOHs in the background. I shoot 2,2,2, DOH where did that one come from lol. Oh well. I'm curious to see where I turn out. Of course I was the only wheel gunner but I've talked a few of them into it for next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKOL Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 For my first IDPA match it was a fun match. I had to pick up a couple of mags along the way...you still have to convince me the sense of not being able to drop an empty mag with a round in the chamber. waiting to reload until behind cover also tried my patience a bit. All in all though the stages were fun, I managed to make it through without a procedural (although I had to argue one with the SO...with Barry and Jeremy as co-counsel) and I will be shooting this match whenever I'm in the US on the 3rd weekend of the month. If I can get some jacketed rounds reloaded I'll join you shooting ESR next time Corey (probably March). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steel1212 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 results are in....its going to be hard for my ego to shoot revo I had one stage that ended up costing me about an extra 7-10 seconds with the RO telling me I had one more target then having to do an extra reload on. In the end I don't think I did to bad. My times for most of the stages where right there with the autos. The bigger the stages though the more reloads and longer the times. My time was a 107 the best time of the day was a 83. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKOL Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 still not too bad with a wheel gat. It's always more fun though if you have at least a few people shooting revolver. I felt okay about my run considering the fact that I had to stop and pick up a mag on two stages and had a 3 or 4 second pause on the Santa stage before I noticed that I'd pulled one on the left hand target and re-engaged it. IDPA is a new game for me and there will be a learning curve. I hate to say this but I'll probably end up picking up a vest at some point for a bit more consistency on concealed draws and reloads...

Yeah, I was fleecing it up too....and you got the gamer part right...it's just a different game (with some slightly twisted rules )... and I proudly accept that title from a fellow GAMER..

steel1212 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Gamer...Yes Sir I is. Speaking of Gamers, and I really hope he reads this post. You should have seen Lin running a couple of stages! Stage 3 where it said hold bag in weak hand, well most of us shot SHO, he just picked up the bag and held it in his weak hand and shot freestyle. He then tried to get both steel on stage 5 before the drop outs but wasn't fast enough and caught a procedural for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
