At the end of this month I’m traveling to GA to take the Rangemaster Master Instructor Development course put on by Tom Givens. This course involves some revolver work so I figured I’d dust off my R***r GP100 10 MM match champion. I don’t get as much time on the wheel gun as I’d like so I decided to handicap myself a bit (more than usual anyway) and run the match with the Revo.
I didn’t place as well as I normally do in the overall ( these reloads are slow and so are the splits). That said I can see why someone would be interested in competing with one of these more often. If that’s something you might be into here are a few things to consider.
When it comes to International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) competition, shooters are always on the lookout for reliable, accurate, and versatile fi****ms. Enter the R***r GP100 10mm Match Chanpion revolver, a robust and powerful handgun that, when equipped with .40 S&W moon clips, becomes an ideal choice for competitive shooters. In this article, we will explore the features of the R***r GP100 10mm Match Champion revolver and delve into the benefits of using .40 S&W moon clips in IDPA competitions.

The ability to run 40 S&W with TK custom moon clips,adds significant firepower to the equation, making it an excellent choice for both self-defense and competitive shooting. The GP100's solid steel frame provides stability and absorbs recoil, allowing for faster follow-up shots and enhanced accuracy.

Using .40 S&W Moon Clips:
In IDPA competition, shooters often seek ways to improve reload speed. Utilizing .40 S&W moon clips with the R***r GP100 10mm revolver is a game-changing solution. Moon clips are metal devices that hold cartridges together, allowing for quicker and more efficient reloading of revolvers. While the GP100 is chambered for 10mm Auto, it can also accommodate .40 S&W rounds using moon clips.
Benefits of .40 S&W Moon Clips:
* Faster Reloads: Moon clips enable shooters to reload their revolvers quickly and efficiently. By loading multiple rounds simultaneously, shooters can shave off precious seconds during IDPA competitions, where time is a critical factor.
* Ammunition Compatibility: The ability to use .40 S&W rounds in the GP100 through moon clips offers greater versatility. Shooters can easily switch between 10mm Auto and .40 S&W ammunition, depending on availability and personal preferences, without needing additional fi****ms.
* Cost-Effective Solution: .40 S&W ammunition is often less expensive than 10mm Auto, making it an attractive option for shooters on a budget. By using moon clips to convert the GP100 to .40 S&W, shooters can take advantage of the affordability of .40 S&W rounds without having to invest in a separate firearm.
Conclusion:
The R***r GP100 10mm revolver, when paired with .40 S&W moon clips, provides competitive shooters with a winning combination for IDPA competitions. Its robust construction, powerful chambering, and customizable grip options make it a reliable and accurate choice for defensive shooting sports.
