Thanks again to all who replied. My point as stated at the beginning was that we shooters, not wanting to draw negative attention to our sports, tend to NOT discuss or deal with it. I think that Scrat pretty much prooves this in his posts. Just like history, "If we don't learn from our...

Thanks for the info. It is exactly what I was looking for. I think that as shooters, we would like to pretend that these things don't happen. My opinion is that these stories need to be told just to keep us on our toes. Some of the worse gun handling that I have seen has been by very...

As a certified instructer, I am frequently engaged in discussions with fellow shooters regarding the relative safety of the various shooting sports. In my memory, I can recall an article in Precision Shooting magazine about a bench rest competitor who accidently killed his wife while trying to...

Jim: Thanks for the replies to both of my threads. Most of the guys at these shoots seem genuinely eager to help new shooters. I make a point of saying that I am a new shooter (to IDPA not new to shooting). As I said, I am there to listen and learn! I have been shooting 4.6 grains of...

Poogyrr...thanks for the suggestion. I wasn't aware of the Yahoo list. But, I have it bookmarked now! At the three local matches, that I have shot this year, there seems to be plenty of rule bending. Being a new shooter, I researched as much as I could find about IDPA...video's, web...

I recently shot my first SSR match at an IDPA shoot. I love shooting pistols...period, but have always enjoyed revolvers the most. I shot a 686 using Fed +P .38 specials. Other than not having "legal" speedloader holders, I had a blast. I have also invested in a 625 and a 610 that I just...

I just noticed a post that mentioned that the safariland CD-2 spring steel speedloader holder is NOT legal for IDPA. I looked it up in the IDPA handbook, and they are right, it is listed as not approved! I've only been to a few local matches, but all I saw used were CD-2's and the stainless...

braindead0......no wonder they don't go bang!!!:confused: Like I said, I'mm soon to be 55.......mind if I borrow your user name? :p

Thanks for all the info.....I have tried other cases. I haven't had trouble with the Fed, MIL, or Win cases. The crimp die is brand new. I just received two of them from RCBS (the other is for use with my 10mm). I just got sick of seating bullets in one step and then resetting the die and...

The web page for Tucker is. TuckerGunLeather.com...I ordered mine through Rob aka Tonerguy. He was great to deal with....The web page is excellent. Nothing but smiles from me!!!::) :) :) :)

Here's my rig. My son's was dyed in Dark Cherry (LH), mine is Natural (RH). Enjkoy!

I tried to post this a couple of weeks ago, but it didn't go through. I just wanted to drop a note that if anyone is looking for some top notch leather, give the Tonerguy a try. I called Rob and had a great talk with him about a graduation present for my son. He is finishing up a Natural...

I just finished loading a couple of hundred 40 S&W's. Went to the range to shoot and noticed that a number of them had bullets that had seated deeper in the case. I kind of expected it because I had not felt much resistance when I seated the bulets. I used RCBS Carbide dies for sizing...
