Default 929 for steel challenge

Anyone out there shooting a 929 for steel challenge? I am in OSR class with good results but am wondering if my 4" 627 pro might be a better choice. I have only been in the game for about a year and wheel gun shooters are few and far between so I never seem to get the chance to shoot with one.

I've been shooting the 929 for Steel Challenge for the last year. I've done real well with it and love the balance and the extra sight radius.

9mm is easy to find. I started out with Winchester White Box 124 grainers so that I'd have good brass to load with. I used TK Custom moons and Revolver Supply Co moons. I used the RSC Ultimate Clip Loader to load the moons and an unloading tool from TK.

Coated bullets worked best because they leave no fowling in the barrel and I could shoot the entire match without having to scrub the cylinders between stages.
