Took my wife shooting to familiarize her with her new S&W 380 EZ pistol. Since we were going shooting, I also brought the Model 10 revolver that is her "bedside" gun to make sure she was still up to date with it (she doesn't shoot very often).
Once we'd gone through both of the guns and she was comfortable, she said "why don't you shoot your old revolver?" I've got lots of guns and have recently been shooting my new .40 cal; I also took my GP100 & Python out for some .357 enjoyment.
But, I forgot just how fun a .38 special Smith could be! I went through several cylinders of ammo, double-action, with that wonderfully smooth trigger. Mild recoil, small groupings, a thoroughly enjoyable session. Sometimes I get caught up in the "newest" or "biggest bang" and need to be reminded that shooting lighter loads can be a great experience; I guess that's why each session ALWAYS includes a .22 or two!
