Obviously Alpo doesn't want to search the interwebs himself, so he suckered us into doing it for him. Well played Alpo, well played...

It could. Range capability being the limiting factor. I see a lot of PCC "side" matches offered at large matches.

Looks like fun. The biggest difference I see from CAS is the full use of the left and right limits of the range. CAS rarely has targets not straight downrange from the firing line, even with downrange movement we seldom shoot to the left or right of that movement.

I did try this method but when your gun is real slick like mine is, pressing the carrier down causes the lifter arm to hit the lever, causing the bolt to move forward leaving even less room to insert the shell. Over the top reloading is faster if you can do it reliably. I was never able to find a reliable technique. Over the top I can reload maybe 2 out of 10 attempts without errors, using the loading gate I can reliably load 9 out of 10 times without error.

I shoot 44-40 and have never been able to perfect an over the top reload. I put a 66 style loading gate on my 73s and reload with my left hand, I'm right handed shooter.

I prefer the SIG P220R 45ACP.

We say goodbye to a great Cowboy, friend, and mentor. Rest in Peace Pappa Dave. Ranger Dan May B Knott

I'll bring my new fangled Automatic Colt Pistols and an umbrella. I know, I know, they're just a fad and will never really catch on... but it's the only way I can beat Possum Williams, cuz he don't have one yet.
