    .357mag/9mm convertible any good?

    I have one and it is great, has a scope on it. Shoots 357's, 38's and 9mm. Used the 9mm for prairie dogs back in Utah.

    S&W 625 accuracy issues

    We here at the RIMZ test facility will be glad to take what may be a terrible gun off your hands and put it to pasture at our testing range. We are allways looking to "wear out" another revolver.

    Need help w/ 625jm new

    All the competiton revolvers I own and that my team uses have had the extended firing pin added. Even a new S&W 625 gun w/o modification has "light strikes" from time to time, regardless of strain screw location or tension on the mainspring. For these reasons, we have added the extended pin on...

    Good revolver for competition that is under $800?

    You surely don't need to invest in a "performance" gun to shoot an IDPA revolver. At one time you could shoot either a moonclipped gun or speedloaders in Stock Service Revolver with a PF (power factor) of 125. Now with the new rules, only the speedloader group (SSR) can shoot a milder 125 PF...

    646?

    I found that once-fired nickel-plated .40 cal CHP (California Hw Patrol) brass has worked extremely well in my 646 (PC version). When competing, I use the nickel brass in both my 646 and 610.

    646?

    The 646 was definately "the gun" for IDPA for about 6 months. Lightweight and accurate, the gun is a pleasure to shoot. On the downside, users found that the TI cylinder preferred once fired nickel plated brass over plain brass. "Range brass", especially from Glocks were difficult to feed...

    moon clips

    Yes, the 686 can be modified to shoot moonclipped rounds. However, not all .38spcl or .357 mag brass like moonclips. You will probably have to sort your brass, i.e. Federal, Remington and Starline accept moonclips readily. Winchester does not. The relief groove that exists on the cartridges...

    S&W 610 Issue

    Blade Tech and Side Armor both make fine holsters for the N-frame S&W 625 and 610. In fact I use the same holster for both my 4" 625 and my 3-7/8" 610.

    I have been looking for the first gun of 2005, it maybe a S&W 610?

    The current production of the S&W 610-3 is a 3-7/8" gem. This gun can probably do it all, from the hot 10mm and soft .40cal. With the round nosed bullets and RIMZ clips this gun can compete with 625's for speed reloads. Seven of them were used in the 2004 IDPA Nationals. The owners took a...

    New! RIMZ 646

    0007: If your 1917 S&M revolver uses .45ACP rounds with half-moons or full moonclips, then the RIMZ 25 is the one you should order. Check out www.beckhamdesign.com.

    New! RIMZ 646

    The long awaited RIMZ 646 has started shipping to limited test sites and should be available for general release in another week. The clip looks like a miniature RIMZ 610 and is made from the same material. Scott Beckham

    Auto-indexing speedloader?

    JohnKSa: I don't understand why you would want to try and index on a very small "blind" target such as the ratchet, when you can index on a larger, IMHO, rather obvious target, the charge holes themselves. In the seminars I have taught on product design and project management, I instruct the...

    Auto-indexing speedloader?

    This is an interesting post! As I understand it, JohnKSa, you would corral or index on the star for proper alignment, rotate the cartridges in alignment and then dump the cartridges in the chambers. However: 1. If you index on the star, you must have something that captures the star and...

    S&W 646 or 625?

    Excuse me for adding another choice to the menu, but the S&W 610 should be on your list if you want a good IDPA gun. The gun is versatile, smooth, can be loaded "hot" or "mild" and will perform for you if you have the skill. With the new round nose 180gr bullets from BILLY BULLETS, the gun...

    686 or 686 Plus?

    I have a 4" 686+, 7 shot revolver. It has the finest action of all my revos. As far as having the 7th shot, I wished I didn't. I cannot compete under current IDPA rules with the 7 shot. I might try some ICORE matches with the 7 shot, but here again, the 6 shot revos like the the 610 with the...

    S&W 610-3: Initial Report

    Even "hot" .40 cal rounds fired through the 610 are quite managable. The mass of the gun really soaks up the recoil and allows for faster follow-up shots. This makes for quite a potent combination.

    IDPA Slump: Now What?
