The MC is chamfered. I don't know if other current GP's and SP's are but at the very least it should be done to help with reloading reliability.

Yeah, I was doing fast DA and dry fire. ;) That year they still were shooting 5" 625s at minor power factor and moon clips and speedloaders were in the same division. A 625 was division winner. I think there were 25 or 30 revolver shooters that year.
I think I was shooting a lot of 147 9mm bullets because that's what I had. I used Bullseye because it didn't leave powder grains behind. I remember having to use loads out of old manuals to find a load because the current ones at the time didn't work in my short barrel to make power factor.
I took the picture today. Gun is starting to show holster wear. :)
Hey man, you're the one out here saying dumb stuff. I shoot these things for a living, just seeing if you were confident enough to put your money where your mouth is.
Guess not.
It's somewhere in between Hartford and South Carolina right now, in fact.Quote:

The sport shooting games seem to value sheer speed more than Darryl does, and many transfer that to apply to real life uses, but does it?
So, how big of a factor is it to run a revolver as fast as one possibly can for non-sport use? Genuine question.
This has been in the back of my mind for a while. Someone in the past commented that they didnt like that revolvers cant be seriously abused and run as fast as humanly possible and slam reloaded without problems, so they dismissed them as defensive arms. It didnt bother me since I never tried to run one as fast as I possibly could as a regular thing and never slammed reloads in as fast and hard as I could. How much does it really matter? How much is fast enough?
@Dagga Boy any thoughts?
Nice blaster. Here's the gun that won the 2007 National Championship in SSR. Sadly it wasn't me running it. It has a perfect chamfering job for Comp III's or Jetloaders and a ton of wear!

That's an oxymoron. If a j frame is your primary then a revolver is fine. ????
A slightly larger gun with more capacity, better trigger, easier to shoot faster and more accurate and easier to load fast is not.
As my primary defensive gun I shoot it in the woods at animals dozens of times a year. How many gunfights have you been in this year?
Is your belief that service sized revolvers are not ideal for defensive use based on capacity? The ability to shoot 25k rounds per year? Or something else?
