Carmoney Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Well, I went through the whole minor phase, first in Revo division (where there is no capacity advantage, just a milder recoil impluse)--and then again in Single Stack division (which gave me 2 more rounds per mag). Been there, done that. Bottom line--for USPSA shooting in any division including Single Stack, if you don't suffer from any serious infirmity that makes it painful to shoot full loads, major is always the way to go. When you fully explore the nuances of the USPSA scoring system, you can't avoid the fact that the (theoretically) slightly faster times you might shoot because of the milder minor loads are just not enough to offset the points penalty created by being scored minor. I occasionally shoot my 646 with minor loads just for a change of pace, or to deliberately place a slight handicap on myself for whatever reason. But I don't kid myself into thinking minor is a serious option for serious matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldchar Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 let it be known to the auto guys that trying to use the same brass in your revolver and autos will make for some tough reloads. once brass has been fired in an auto it will not easily fit into a 38 super revolver cylinder. just want to forewarn people that think its going to drop right in. also you can only fire 6 shots before reloads in USPSA rules for revolver, fire 7 and you are in the open division. i learned all this stuff after the fact with the superScott Found the solution to the sizing problem. EGW sizing dies in 38 super. They are .001 undersize. When the brass springs back it is right at specs. No problem including the webbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldchar Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I've read all the posts, but I'm a bit confused. It sounds like these 627's in 38 super will also shoot 9mm with the same moon clips? Can someone please confirm this?????If they really will shoot 9mm without any modification then I want one! -Cuz. I have the 4" 38 super. The TKW moon clips work just fine with 9mm. The S&W are too tight. I use the S&W moonclips on the 38 super Starline brass that has a slightly deeper extraction groove. On most 38 super brass the TKW's fit better. FYI, I have a 9x23 cylinder for it and the TKW clips are used on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmarsalisjr Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 For those of you who asked about pricing for the 627s, here is one option. A local store here in AZ is offering the revos at $1290.00, not including Arizona sales tax of 7.8%(only for in-state sales). If your out of state, you pay shipping from AZ. Guns etc Ron Sega 480-963-4311 Ron is asking for a $100.00 deposit and he pre-ordered a dozen guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarsalisjr Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Picked mine up today in Mississippi for 1299.00 plus tax. Be advised that the guns are shipping without the plain nosepiece to substitute for the comp nosepiece - so you better want to shot open if you buy one...... I don't and have been unsuccesful at getting a plain nosepiece for the revolver... I have been told the PC boys and girls are saying they are not an available part.... Any suggestions?

Jaxshooter Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Any good tool and die maker or machinest can make a thread protector to screw on the barrel when the comp is off. Just have it turned down to the diameter of the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haras Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 S&W says the blank muzzle piece should have been in the box so they are making it good and shipping them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyinAZ Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 the 38 supers do not have threads on the exterior of the barrel, no protector is required. take the comp off and shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airedale Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I have one of these coming from Carmoney with his competion package and Cliff's secret gun lube I emailed S&W about the non comp end cap. I received a responce saying "248670000, PC EA muzzle cap, 38 Super. It should come with it." Mike assures me it didn't come with it. I guess I will need to call S&W. Anyone have a good POC at S&W?
