Went to the range yesterday...

and shot several of my guns. Nothing came close to the accuracy of with S&W 4 inch .38 special revolver.

My confidence with this revolver is very high. On the contrary, I can't hit the broad side of a barn with my semi-autos. I am better with a snub nose revolver than most of my semi-autos. Why is this?

Well revolvers are alittle more accurate than autos, maybe the revolver sits better in your hands and the sights on a revolver line up better for you than that of an auto!

Last fall I bought a S&W Model 10 4inch HB with a round butt. It is far more accurate than I am. I spent friday at the range shooting a 2inch Model 60, again far more accurate than I am. I guess that's why I have a safe half full of S&W revolvers. I like Semi Auto too, but nothing quite equals my Smith .38s for accuracy.

The most accurate handgun I own is a .48 Special S&W .38=44 Outdoorsman revolver.

Most of the time this is just personal preference of the shooter, based on practice, experience, and expectations.

Hardball,

I bet that was a .38 special in 38/44 outdoorsman (not to kid you about your post though). I shoot my Post-War transition model 38/44 outdoorsman quite well also. Great guns!
