      S&W 686 No-Dash v. 686 Lock

      Like the barrel. Everything else... Meh. Want the 5" barrel with 6 shot fluted cylinder, not that sight, not that hammer, not that cylinder release for ICORE classic or L6. Could be OK for NRA AP or Steel Challenge as a stock gun, but wouldn't be ideal for either. The 4" gun is great for...

      S&W 686 No-Dash v. 686 Lock

      Hogue cylinder release is a solid piece of racegun gear for speeding up reloads and making them more consistent. I had to modify it to round off the lower corner. It was hitting me in the wrong place with recoil. This is a common mod for USPSA revolver shooters. For a range toy, I don't think...

      Quad Loading

      It's old news. The OCHO load is where it's at. http://www.super-tactical.com/2014/04/the-ocho-load-super-tacticalcoms-ultra.html

      Getting started IDPA

      Glock. Simpler manual of arms and likely more reliable if you haven't messed with it. Forgetting to flick on the safety on the 1911 before holstering is a fairly common reason for DQ's in the shooting sports even among those who shoot 1911's regularly. The Glock makes for one fewer thing to...

      CCW at Birchmere?

      I don't recall any signs, but it's been a while. I will say that I was happy I was not carrying when there was a security check prior to the arrival of the president's chief of staff when he came out to see a show. I looked for signs after that show and didn't see any. I've never had a...

      I just got my X-Products Can Cannon!

      Yep. Awesome. Seems mandatory now.

      I just got my X-Products Can Cannon!

      I'm thinking that would make a great shotgun target launcher.

      AAFG Steel Match Sunday 5/22- Questions

      It will be a standard steel challenge match. It will not look like an IDPA match. Rules and standard stage descriptions are here http://steelchallenge.com/steel-challenge-Rules-Home.php The match will probably have 5 of the 8 standard steel challenge stages in the rules along with one...

      Sharpshooters indoor range in Lorton, VA?

      It's a 25 yard indoor range. Temperature control and ventilation could be better. Elite, NRA and Blue Ridge Arsenal ranges are better in that regard. Depending on where you work and when you want to shoot, travel times to the competition could be prohibitive. Sharpshooters could be your best...

      WTB: Sig P320c mags

      They had a display of different 320 frames and mags in Quantico Tactical in woodbridge when I was there less than a week ago. Give them a ring.

      Any Steel Matches Within 1hr from DC

      Correct. However few centerfire steel matches are scheduled. All of their IDPA matches revert to steel matches in inclement weather. They also do a 5-6 stage steel challenge match fairly infrequently. They also have a rimfire steel match with rifle and pistol on 4th sundays.

      Holster for S&W TRR8

      Look into the Simply Rugged Sourdough Pancake. It seems like the one for the R8 should work for the TRR8.

      S&W 640 pro 9mm convertible?

      Understand that I'm not calling BS on anyone, here. I just think there were probably some risks discussed between Tom and your friend and your friend chose to assume them and experiment. They are slight, I'll admit, but I think there's a liability issue in claiming a .357 cut for 9mm is a legit...

      S&W 640 pro 9mm convertible?

      Interesting. I find it pretty telling that he doesn't make that claim on his website. Best of luck with that. Buyer beware, I guess.

      S&W 640 pro 9mm convertible?

      Not really. Once it's cut for 9mm, the .357 brass will fire form to the new chamber and will be pretty much done for any other .357 chamber. If that's acceptable to you, then fine. I wouldn't do it. Out of curiosity, did Tom recommend this or was it something you found on his website?
