Within the nexr week I am going to attempt - operative word, "attempt" - to shoot an IDPA match with a revolver. I know this will just prove that I can be equally incompetent with both semi-autos and wheelguns, but being the wheelgun proponent that I am, it seems only fitting.

 

With the help of Victor (vjf915), who got to try out his new drill press, I came up with this means of carrying my revolver ammo...

 

 

It is dimensioned to fit into the center compartment of my range bag and can hold 27 full-moonclips (162 rounds), which should be enough to make through a match and then some.

 

The moonclip tool really makes loading the moonclips easy and the opposite end has a tool for removal. The gold mandrel is for .40 S&W and the black spare is for .45 ACP. Likewise the smaller loop, on the end, is for removing .40 S&W cases and the larger loop is for .45 ACP.

 

Still waiting for a holster, but the maker assures me it will be here Friday.

 

USPSA at CJRPC on Sunday (no revolver for me). IDPA at RAF on Monday night and again at SCFGPA a week from this Sunday - my debut will be at one of those two venues.

 

BTW - anyone from the Trenton/Ewing/Lambertville area going to the USPSA match on Sunday? My usual partner will be out of town.

 

Adios,

Nice! I really wish I could make it to SCFGPA now

That brought a huge smile to my face for some reason. Glad, really really glad to see it go to good use.

OMG

 

LOADED CLIPS?

 

Now you will be transporting loaded guns to the range.

 

Looks sweet.

Looks great Bob.

Yeah Paul, and those are actually clips. It really bugs me when people call magazines clips, don't know why.........

 

Pizza Bob, good luck! I have about 40 or so moon clips for my .45 ACP that came with a 625 I just got. I may have to try one of these events with it. Digging the wood and dowels you have there, let us know how it works.

 

I went to an event last Saturday at Old Bridge and there were two guys there with revolvers. The guy I was hangin' with was shooting .357 Magnums and using speed loaders which as you know are nowhere near as fast to load/unload as our moon clips. He had fun though, I didn't see who the other guy was, just saw there were two entered in the revolver class.

 

What wheelgun are you using?

What wheelgun are you using?

 

 

A S&W 646...

 

 

I've put rubber Hogues on it for competition. Using an Alabama Holsters kydex Ranger holster and a North Mountain dual moonclip holder, primary and a TK Custom single holder, secondary.

 

It'll be interesting.

 

Adios,

That is sweet, good luck and have fun... you guys are killin me not being able to go until fall...

Told ya I'd be using it

 

My father and I are in the process of "renovating" (moving stuff around) our basement right now, so it won't see as much use right now as it will in a couple months...although it will be used to help fix our grill soon. I wouldn't have taken it off you hands if I didn't think I would use it, I would have let it go to a better home.

 

Bob, glad it worked out for you. Wish I was able to make it this weekend to see you shoot the revolver! Now you just need to attach MOLLE straps to make it tacticool

Great I just spit milk/protein all over my mouse. I should know not to eat or drink around the general discussion forums.

 

Looks awesome Bob!
