Looking at a lot of old photos of revolvers used for competition back in the day, grip tape seems common. I don't think I saw anyone using it on the line at the revolver match I attended in November. It might be one of those "lost" tidbits of knowledge that needs to be rediscovered by people. The CMP rules explicitly allow for it so clearly someone was aware when they made up the rules approximately 1.5 years ago.

I just sold a 14-2 to a fellow forum member for a lot less. I probably should have thought that through a bit more. Lol

Most of us cannot shoot up to the potential of the K38 and other Smith target revolvers. I do pretty well, but not at all close to the possibilities.
Not to knock your achievements, but isn't a Master score still a 95% average? A High Master score is still a 97% average, isn't it? A 90% average with a revolver is still a very high achievement.
The CMP has different classifications for EIC/"Service" pistols/revolvers and Match Pistols since there are considerably more limitations placed on those types of handguns than on Match Pistols. For Match Pistols ie shooting the 2700, 97% would be high master, correct. The people who can shoot service pistols at that 97%+ are ones who are winning the NTI, P100 NTT etc
