( competition / chronograph story ) I've heard that when revolver shooters are worried they might not make power factor for the match at the chronograph stage, they'll put a decent coating of lube inside the cylinder chambers. Increased pressure, increased FPS.. Winning.

Yah, Josh used to use special before moving to the 929, There are some other decent shooters that shoot special length cases too. Though, admitedly - 38 long colt isnt THAT much shorter then specials. 0.15" shorter. nothing to hoot about.

Gotcha, though - even sans hand loading - I think the 627 is still a viable option to consider for the new shooter. Running standard 158 grain factory ammo is a fine start for people wanting to shoot USPSA. (and the rumor is, factory 38 special is more likely to make power factor over factory 9mm in a 929 -but again, really not an issue for a new shooter to worry about)

Bob, you forgot the S&W 627, which is probably the most common revolver for USPSA

I think they want you to believe it'll be Abraham on his way out, which I think he is, but it'll be daryll which is the neegan death. Riots commence.

Anchor it to the floor / wall

My dodge ram 1500 sport hemi is like a living room on wheels.

maybe heavyopp will chime in, he makes a bunch of these. Personally, I dont see the reason for speed control - I dont think the speed is really that important ( as long as it isnt going so fast that centrifugal force keeps the materials in the same spot....which I would imagine would be pretty friggin' fast ! )

A good way to see if you have too much crimp is to pull the bullet on a loaded round, if it really digs into the coating / jacket too much and deforms the lead/jacket it's probably too much.

are you going for the roll crimp thing? they look awful tight to me. Try using round nose bullets, to ease reloading ( flat points do not lend well to reloading into a cylinder ) a taper crimp is fine, all you are really doing is flattening out the bell + a few thou in.

if you're doing an A/B comparison given the same ammo, i'd say whatever has the most weight/mass. I guess most striker fired guns are plastic, i'd go with whatever gun is the heaviest and longest barrel. edit: additionally - you'll have far greatest success finding a softer shooting 45 by concentrating on the ammo itself. You can greatly reduce recoil by hand tailoring ammo to your needs ( ie: reloading )

Talk to Smoken 50 , dave runs the black powder league at obrpc.

I keep it in the safe for special occasions, it's sort of a "one-time-trick" sort of deal

what else is the internet for?

Let's just say it's PPC... you need the attendance.

Remember that time I showed up to PPC like my 1st week owning a gun and unzipped my gun and walked right down to the firing line. You was pissed. Friggin' noobs.

Ok....maybe more like 18 yards. Now, Done bragging - My head has grown to twice the size in the past 30 minutes. I'm more so trying to bring light to the competition circuit. If you want to get good at shooting stuff, shoot USPSA for a while, your skills will expand - quickly.

Hell, I could of edited in the steel hit *ding* and called it for truth. You'll just have to take my word for it. Ha

i think most " factory " guns are more then capable of shooting 1"-3" at 25 yards , how consistent depends on the user. Vlad makes alot of good points, while shooting good groups at 25 is difficult, it's certainly not out of the realm for most shooters. Though, there is alot of bullshit out there, people claiming they can hit 4" head shot " double taps " while sprinting backwards with one hand.

More proof. 8 inch plate , 50 yards, One handed , double action revolver.

I can typically keep it in a 4 inch circle at 25 yards. Here is 8 shots with a Revolver , shooting double action. proof, cause you'll just have to take my word for it.... the two to right of the 4 inch circle, well.... Dont worry about those little guys.

Did you remove the hand when you took it apart ? Did you properly place the hand spring behind the hand pin inside the trigger when reinstalling ? All models require hand springs to keep tension toward the extractor. The 14-2 probably has a hand spring that's pinned within the trigger, unlike the new style MIM ones that fall out when you remove the hand.
