It has been a cool, blustery day, and I was sitting around the house just goofing off, so I decided to grab my range bag and my new (old!) Smith, and go down to the police range and try it out. I had a box of PMC 158gr. RNL in my bag and just wanted to see what it's like to shoot a S&W.
The experience was enlightening, to say the least.
I hung up some 9" paper plates and did my shooting at 7, 15 and 25 yards. I shot one handed, two handed, both single and double action.
Now....my experience with a revolver is almost nonexistent, so I wasn't expecting a whole lot.
Out of 50 rounds, I missed the target exactly "0" times. That includes single handed (single action) at 25 yards. The groups were nothing to write home about, but that's not I was there for. I have no doubt that if I do my part, this is a bull's-eye gun.
This is a great handling pistol, and a pure joy to shoot. The double action could use some smoothing out, but the single action is light and breaks like glass. I think a set of target style grips (mine has Magna's), will aid in the handling.
I can't believe I've waited this long to own one of these. I have no doubt that in time, This will become my favorite gun, and not my last.
