Don’t forget, the 14th Annual ICORE Southwest Regional Revolver Championship is this weekend (Friday and Saturday, April 22-23) in beautiful Morro Bay, Calif. There are still slots available so register for the match, grab your wheelgun and head for the coast. This is the first match in the ICORE Regional Series presented by Smith & Wesson and there are five guns up for grabs at the end of the season for those that participate in the series. BTW, the crew from Apex Tactical, located right up the road, will be there with totally trick custom revolvers and new but unreleased gun parts that will debut later this month at the NRA Show. If you ask real nice they just might let you see them. Plus Scott Folk promises a free hug with any purchase.
