The revolver is fairly heavy, so the weight, plus the Pachmayr grips, absorbed most of the recoil.
This thing is an extremely smooth shooter, and very accurate. I was firing at defensive distances - 10 and 12 yards - and the gun hit reliably at point-of-aim, giving me some nice two-inch groups (in S/A; D/A was closer to 3 inches) I was pretty amazed that I could shoot as accurately with this snubby as I can with a 4-inch-barrel, S&W Model 10.
A delightful gun to shoot (and check out that bluing; sweet!).
Very nice, indeed! I expect that shooting .357 ammo would make it a bit harder to handle, but .38 Special works nicely.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, I bet if I'd been shooting .357 Magnum, the gun would have been jumping all over the place. Still, I'm going to buy a couple of boxes and see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteNice shootin' pard.
ReplyDeleteI need to practice DA, I din't very much.
It shouldn't jump until after the shot so I don't think .357 ammo would affect accuracy.
I can bullseye like nothing with my .500 on SA.
You just have to not think about the recoil.
5 or 10 years ago Walmart had Perfecta .357 for around $10-$15 for 50. I stocked up.
It might be crap ammo but it goes BOOM! every time.
I still have 1-200 left, not counting good ammo.
I guess what I'm concerned about is getting the sights back on target quickly with a gun that has a fair amount of recoil.
