You'll enjoy it; I found I had to focus much more on the fundamentals when I didn't have any extra ammo to throw away.

I'm not sure this is going to be the best thing for me as a USPSA Shooter. I tend to shoot mostly A's. On the other hand, with the shallow pool of revolver shooters here, I have a chance to finally see a "1" next to my name on the match results.
eh...I'm not following.
Will you be shooting minor PF? And do you think you'll have trouble shooting As with a revolver? Either way, sounds like revolver is for you, since wheelgunners in particular, have to make every shot count.BTW, are you going to be using moonclips or speedloaders? Either way, be sure to practice your reloads, too.

nah, i'm saying I shoot too slow, so going to a gun that's going to force me to shoot even more deliberately may be counterproductive.
I may possibly be the slowest B Production shooter ever.

I'm not falling for that one, go have fun and don't worry about it. When you first start out don't be too concerned if other revolver shooters clean your clock. It's a very different sport. Really give some thought to the new way you should run each stage.
To me, your B rating indicates your accuracy and your speed.
Also, don't be afraid to start comparing how you do against other auto loader guys. Most of those guys aren't nearly as good as they think, and one good jam on a stage usually knocks most of them out of the running pretty quick.

Also remember, "smooth is fast"; get those reloads programmed into your muscle memory, and make up some dummies in clips so you can get a half-hour or so of reloading practice in each night.
When shoot a revo, just get used to shooting every stage Virginia count and there is no such thing as a Revo friendly stage.
I wanted to make GM in Revo, but I dont think its in the cards. I think the hit factors are still a touch high on some classifiers.

Good luck. I still think I'll stick to Production in USPSA, but I've got a S&W Mod 64 that I've been considering trying out in an ICORE match which started up just recently near here. I figure a couple speed loaders wouldn't set me back much to give it a try .

well, I'm shooting with moonclips which makes brass recovery pretty simple, because the ammo is sitting on the ground in a nice big lump. With luck, no one will step on the clip while its sitting there.
As far as picking up brass goes every club is different. Some clubs are very fastidious and while some people are pasting and taping, other shooters are picking up your brass for you.
Other matches, the brass is left for the vultures. That said, you'd probably be the only person there shooting .357 or .38, so your brass will be easy to ID. Let the people around you know that you're shooting .357, and chances are good you'll end up leaving more brass than you came with.

.357 brass is easy to pick up too, it's all in little piles. Snagging auto brass is a little more of a hunt.
Even if you don't reload some places just prefer the shooting station to be clean, I suppose to prevent someone slipping.
I wouldn't let the brass issue deter you at all.
