Bound's hubby here:
Dorothy and Toto were in the way ... something about no place like home ...
This answer is based on some research of the rules, not personal experience, but I am personally intrigued. Not knowing the actual course of fire or distances, for my first trip to these matches, I would take a Smith & Wesson Model 14 K-38 Masterpiece, with 6 inch barrel. The K-38 is a premier target revolver. It is very accurate with lead loads and holds a very good trigger. When I shoot PPC (practical police combat) I shoot a 98.5% average with it. The virtues of this revolver selection are: very good inherent accuracy, nice balance, hand-filling grips/stock, very good single action and double action trigger pull, and availability of factory target hammers and target triggers.
In all honesty, there is very little you need to do to a K-38 to make it competitive.
If I did not have a K-38 at hand, I would limit myself to K/L framed .38/.357 revolvers (larger bores increase recoil which increases between shot recovery time). Focus on a 6 inch barrel, but nothing smaller than 4 inch.
With respect to ammo lean toward 150/158 grain hard cast semi-wadcutters.
Your first trip to this match should be as much as a shooter as it is sponge. Enjoy the match, do your best, and make mental notes of the guns and equipment other shooters are using. Since the IRC seems to want to level the playing field, I would suspect most of the matches revolve around stock guns and shooter skill, not the best enhancements a shooter can buy.
Good luck.
