So now that the new scoring system is out I've finally accepted that I have to work on my accuracy. I'm thinking of doing the unthinkable and spending a year shooting my Talo 642 in place of the Berettas. I need to force myself to slow down and concentrate, and if shooting a J won't do that I don't know what will.
So my question is this - I love revolvers, have a few, but I've never shot a revo in competition of any type, and I don't know what I don't know - can you help? For example, I have a DSG AIWB holster for this revolver, but I can't use it in these matches. Holsters, speedloaders, etc .... I know nothing about that stuff. My J is my backup and I never carry spare ammo for it.
My current level of shooting will let me hold the down zero at 25 yds with this gun if I take my time. That's at my home range. I have no idea what standard I should be shooting for, have never done a revolver speed reload, etc. Lastly, and maybe this is more important than I think it is, I don't know the service life on this 642. Am I going to destroy my real-life BUG using it like this for a season? If so, I need to make other plans. Oh yeah, I do have everything for reloading .38 although I've only reloaded .357 with it up to now.
Point me in the right direction, if you have the time. I sure would appreciate it.
