Thanks m8!
I see.
I found this:
https://revolverguy.com/competition-101-idpa-with-revolvers/ The IDPA matches seem the most interesting and the most practical.
It goes into the difference b/t SSR & ESR. Either bbl limit is 6 rds. Either require you to use the chambering listed on the revolver, w/ the exception that you can use 38 spc in a 357 gun etc. Point is, no 9mm revolvers unless they came from factory that way. I see that in SSR, you cannot use a
This makes me want to get a 3" or 4" kimber or Colt king cobra and shoot in SSR as these guns are between J & K frame size frame & cylinders, and a guy has more latitude in the grip. That is to say that either are guns that I could and would actually carry, I often carry a 3" ruger SP101 right now, so basically the same size gun. I see that in SSR 32 cal is not allowed, so I could not use my 327 mag SP101
. I also see that 9mm is not allowed, and moon clips are not allowed.
, that seems gay af as either would be fantastic carry guns w/ 9mm moonclips, making reloading IRL practical w/ 6 heavily chamfered cylinders. In ESR 9mm may be allowed, not sure if that counts as ("38 or larger?") but looking at my spreadsheets I see that it wouldbe hard to make the min 155 pf requirement w/ a 4" bbl in 9mm chambering anway. Dunno, maybe w/ nato ammo, I don't have any MV data on 9mm. In ESR revolvers can weight up to 50oz, it would be hard to compete agains L frames and GPs w/ a 25-28 oz Kimber or Colt...tho the 4" king cobra I see is 36 oz... pretty heavy for EDC tbh.
I am not sure about that reloading method discussd above but w/ Colt or Ruger style cylinder releases?? Any imput. I do not have a ruger on hand currently to test.
The Dan wesson 357s, they are more like L or N frames in size right? Of course, the cylinder on the DW, I am not sure if that would be competitive for a Lefty...
Damn, they even have strange rules about grip style in IDPA.
Is USPSA as fun or practical as IDPA? Are the courses creative w/ different scenarios etc or just standing stand and shoot at things?? Can a guy shoot a converted chamber revolver in USPSA? The one w/o the red dot sight seems interesting w/ 9mm full moons.
Thanks
