Time to vent again!
Finally got back to USPSA locally in South Florida. Of course I love my pre lock 627 8 shot, and have to deal with not only the cost of 38 special, but reloading the long cartridges. I bit the bullet so to speak and sent the cylinder in to TK Customs to be milled to 9mm. What a pleasure to reload a bit faster! I’m still a novice but love the activity.
So my issue is if I want to shoot other 8 shots in Minor division I have to shoot 38 special or pay $400 to get THAT cylinder milled.
So my Q is why don’t ammo mfgs make 38 short or 38 short colt available for competition for 627/327 Smiths? I did find 38 sp shorts by Magtech but have probably 10-15% FTFs, which blows your stages away. Then of course there’s the moonclip fit issues that happen with different ammo.
Probably just answered my own question, just stick with the milled gun!
