Just a reminder in case any of you potential revolver newbies are entertaining thoughts of competing with your new toy - IDPA and USPSA both limit revolvers to six rounds. Not sure about steel, but if they allow it, a 7-shot L-Frame or an 8-shot N-Frame makes sense for these games.

 

Just as with any of your guns, you may find standing in one spot shooting at one piece of paper, gets old quickly, so you start to look for ways to expand your horizons. The action games are not just for self-stuffers, we need more wheelgunners.

 

Adios,

I'm with you Bob. I shoot paper and steel with either my 610 (running .40), my 625 (running .45 ACP), or a 686 (running .38 Special).

 

I leave the bottom feeders in the safe.

Steel match just has revolver, so 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 shot revolvers are in the same category.

Charter Arms is finally suppose to release their 9mm revolver CARR in February. If it is like the .40 that was released this past year, it should be pretty sweet and cheaper to shoot than a .38 and yet, with defensive rounds it will probably fall somewhere between a .38 and .357. I'd like one. I would also like to get the .40.

They should be limited or have separate divisions but if that was the case we would have too many divisions to shoot. However a 617 with 10 rounds would be perfect for OBRAMS, but I'll do it with my 9 shot 94..

You can't compare where you place in the Revolver (3 maybe 4 shooters) vs where I place in Pistol (15 or more shooters) man..

Thats cool man,I'm just there to have fun, and place where I place. Just come out and shoot..

Congrats! Very nice revolver! I'm seriously thinking of picking up one of these when my next set of permits are ready in the next month or two... It's going to be either the 686 Plus or the 686 SSR...

Love that SSR. Just beware the bullet will come out square after exiting the square barrel. LOL

My next pistol is (most likely) going to be a 686. Looking forward to it.

what is the part he takes out in the video at about 1:23? He puts it up in the 11 o'clok position in his pile of parts, but does not put it back in. Spare parts?

The infamous "Clinton Lock"

My first handgun is a copy of the gun you just purchased. It's a great firearm and you'll enjoy shooting/owing it.
