      ICORE 2024 Central Regional Championship

      Thanks to all those who setup and run the match. Great squad and weather although the wind played havoc on the steel and even the paper targets. It was a blast to shoot with friends I haven't seen or shot with in a long time. 1st Icore match since 2021 and I missed it. Wife and I both...

      .22LR Range Fun

      .22 revolvers of all brands can have hard ejection. When a .22 revolver comes thru the shop I always ream the cylinder with a SAMMI spec reamer and that usually takes care of the problem unless the customer requests not to. Some guns will run fine right from the factory and some will tighten up...

      S&W mod. 52-2 What’s it’s purpose

      FWIW Mod 52 mags can be modded to hold 6 rounds and even heard of 7 rounds working. I did mine to 6 rounds when I was shooting combat leagues in the winter with 6 round strings. Original mags are probably to valuable to do the mods too now but aftermarket(triple K I believe is doing them) would...

      Owensboro USPSA 3/15-3/16 2024

      Beautiful day on the range Saturday. I haven't done a classifier match in 30 years but I went to this one to deliver a couple of guns I worked on to a shooter and shot my Revolver in a different division just messing around. 6 stages and they were all newer stages with movement so it was...

      Anyone using the new Garmin Xero?

      Just got one of these but haven't used it yet. Lot less Hassel than carrying skyscreens and wires and timer for old chrono. After looking it over it is slick but very basic. I would bet version 2 will have functions for ES and SD and maybe power factor for the shooting games and be more expensive.

      FO Sights for street?

      Well I read this thread a while back:rolleyes: and just LOL. Been using FO in competition for almost 15 years and never broke one. First USPSA match of the year and it was a 8 stage match and making ready on stage 7 the fiber was gone. What was I to do.:runaway: Well I shot the last two stages...

      Looking to get into IDPA

      Silver Creek Conservation Club also shoots first Saturday. Might be a easier trip if you are on the South Side. New range is North of Henryville in Underwood just off of 65.

      Opinions on the Taurus 856 for daily carry?

      Yes a gun should never leave the factory in that condition but to be fair I have had quite few S&W revolvers in the shop that left the factory with timing issues. Had several that went back for a fix and then came to me to fix it after S&W didn't get it right. Also the old S&W’s were even worse...

      Opinions on the Taurus 856 for daily carry?

      I've Worked on several Taurus Revolvers over the years including a new 856 and they are fine and a decent value. Like anything else you get what you pay for and they are not S&W quality or Ruger for that matter but they seem well made and ANY manufacture can let bad ones get out. The 856 I just...

      Wheel Gun Show-N-Tell

      State of the art Revolvers. That sounds funny even saying it. Top gun is a USPSA/ICORE gun. It is a 929 S&W 8 shot gun with the 9mm Titanium cylinder removed and a Steel 38 super cylinder installed. Gun has action job and different sights installed. Probably around 25k rounds thru it. Bottom gun...
