Revolver cleaning
Yes, but get the proper tool to tighten and loosen it. If you are going to use a pair of pliers or something, gaurd it with a peice of leather or something as not to gouge it, and keep it as close as to the yoke as possible as not to bend the extractor rod.

You're yearly membership dues are your access to both the indoor and outdoor ranges. There is no fee to enter the premise once you a member, there is no time limit. There is no cost to bring guests, but - I think there is a rule about a 3 guest limit, and only 3 times a year, i'll have the check the bylaws though.- PORK ROLL or TAYLOR HAM!?

sure, but when you have a dozen guys behind you waiting to shoot so they can finish up and go home in 95 degree weather, its best to keep the match running quick and streamline- Speed loaders for smith and wesson model 63 4th generation? (8 shot 22lr)
I agree with Bob, it'll probably work just fine. And 30 bucks is pretty standard on a 22 speed loader. You'll also need to have a " loading block " for it so you can quickly load the speed loader. I'd skip the speed strip idea, might as well load by hand if thats the case.- CJRPC and old bridge static static steel match with 8 shot 22 revolver?
Yup, it's fine to use. Though, you should try to track down some speed loaders for it. Taking a long time to reload in between strings gets real monotonous real quick.- CJRPC Members Only Steel Match Terminated
If you were to ask me to pick a few people who were in my opinion most involved with CJRPC getting stuff done and matches run, raz-0 , and Vlad would be at the top of that list. I think he has earned his place to talk.- CJRPC Members Only Steel Match Terminated

Paging smokin 50.- What gun for steel matches ???
still cant hit **** though- What gun for steel matches ???
While either gun is not "ideal" in my opinion , either will work all you need is a holster, and at least 5 magazines. Shoot whatever you are comfortable with. There is usually a " compact " division Shooting factory .45 acp ammo is probably a bit much though, all you need to do is " ding " the steel. Lots of people use 9mm / 38 / .40 , but there are a bunch of people who hand load 45s for steel challenge. good luck- What revolver does your wife/gf/sister/mom etc. prefer?
Yah, that's what I meant to say dont judge, i wrote that post at like 3 in the morning. Girth of the grip is a good point, I should of known this one first hand. At one point I decided to try the rubber X-Frame grips, which are a bit wider and have the back strap covered. They absorb recoil well, but it point my trigger finger in such an awkward spot it just wasn't worth it. Bob is very right about the grip too, any time I see somebody new to revolvers or unfamiliar with grip they are always typically holding the gun way too low, your should be holding the gun as high as possible, with the web of your hand between the thumb and trigger finger (almost) on top of the back strap. ( you shouldn't see any visible back strap ) Also, trigger finger should be the same as when you shoot a semi, alot of times people will over compensate for a heavy double action trigger by inserting too much trigger finger to get leverage, personally I feel using just the pad of your finger is the correct way. Though, take all that advice is just my own personal opinion, plenty of amazing revolver shooters hold the gun in such an awkward and non traditional way and do just fine. best of luck - PORK ROLL or TAYLOR HAM!?
