Heartland Match 3rd Sunday, April 18th

Am I going to be the only snubbie shooter?

Yep. I think you may be the only guy using a 2" barrel revolver too.

Maybe we need to make a S_I division and to handicap them they can only load 5 in their mags since those guns are sooooo fast.

 

[mike_pinto]

I handicap myself enough there mister!

 

[Shadowrider]

That's the gun I was thinking of when I specifically made the max snubby barrel length 2.25"

The J-frame guns are a class unto themselves. To expect them to compete heads up with a K or L frame with a 2.5" barrel with adjustable sights isn't realistic.

However, a good shooter using a 2.5" 66 could keep up with the 4" barreled guns, especially at this match. You're looking for a challenge, aren't you ?

LOL. Drat....

I'll join you with the snubbie.

 

[Pstmstr]

I'll join you with the snubbie.

Sounds good. Any others?

 

[Shadowrider]

I might join you, though I've been informed that my snubbie isn't a snubbie I think? I'll take that as a good thing.

Or I might just download to 5 rounds and use a friend's Ruger Alaskan 44mag. But then that 2.5" thing rears it's head again.
Hey David, how about a 2 1/8" barrel, fixed sight gun downloaded to 5 rounds?

Or I might just go 180 degrees and shoot high cap. I figure that with enough rounds going down range maybe I can light up that flashlight stage.

 

[WhiteyMacD]

This is another "practical carry" type match, correct?

One question, I know you said special rules for wheel guns on the flashlight round,... but what about guns that would qualifyunder low-cap, but have a capacity less than the 8rds? Allowed reload? (Subcompact 45 w/ 6 round cap) I guess I could pickup a +2 extension, or I could just shoot my high cap I guess.

 

[Pstmstr]

I think the rules should state that you have to shoot what you've carried for the last 7 days. There's a ton of matches where you can shoot high caps and competition sized guns.

 

[GlockCop]

But I have carried my G17 the last 7 days.

I like the way you are thinking Mike! What about also shooting from concealment in the SAME manner you carry daily? I'll do it if you will Mike! Damn the gamers!
