Picked this up used on Feb 29th, but didn't take any pics until a few minutes ago. I don't know anything, really, about revolvers. I think this is a 'K' frame? Not really sure... if anybody knows anything more about this pistol please feel free to tell me about it.

Atta boy!

See, I told you you needed a revolver!

Let us know how it shoots!

 

[z0mbi]

It shoots well. I've been doing that trick you taught me.

 

[Hanwei]

um... trick? please share for the rest of us revolver newbies!

 

[Fooped]

Good to hear bro! Get yourself some light .38 special target loads and shoot the crap outta that thing. Great gun to skill build with and not too expensive to shoot as well. Let me know when you want to hit MRA again!

 

[FPrice]

That Remington 870 wingmaster looks awfully familiar.....

He was trying to teach me to take steady, even trigger pulls. By leaving one chamber empty and spinning the cylinder closed, I never know which shot is going to fall on an empty chamber. That way, I can observe whether or not I'm jerking the gun when I fire.

Similar to Russian Roulette ............ different end result.

This of course was done safely with the muzzle pointed downrange at all times...

Also, don't forget the "push-pull" concept as well. I always seem to shoot better when I refocus on that portion of my grip.

 

[jar]

Also, I seem to shoot better when I remember those bumpy things on top of the gun aren't just decoration.

Picked this bad larry up tonight from 4-seasons

That's a good idea... going to have to try that.

 

[Jay G]

A similar experiment you can do with a .357 Mag revolver is to have a friend load it with a mix of light .38s, heavy .357s, and snap caps. The trick is to have someone else load it and hand it to you so you don't know what to expect.

This should help identifying flinching, and work towards lessening one's tendency to flinch.

...a mix of light .38s, heavy .357s...

We used to do this, but more as a cruel joke.

Nice. What light is that? How's it balance?

 

[stinx]

THe light is an insight technology M-3. THe gun seems to balance fine for me. I also got a Biainchi Vision holster,this holster allows you to holster the gun with the light on it. I got the model for the Vertec, but it works fine with the M-9 A1

Well, today is my birthday and this is my present to me. A S&W 649-3 Bodyguard with no lock. It has a great trigger job and a ported barrel. I immediately took off the full size grips and put on a pair of Uncle Mike's boots. If this works out as well as I expect I will invest in some nice custom grips.

The trigger pull on this baby is really sweeeeet! I know a lot of guys do not like ported barrels, but I do. I can't wait to get to the range with it. Thanks JollyRoger!

I gave that piece a hard look myself. It is sweet. A set of crimson trace lasergrips on that baby would nicely complete the package. Good luck with it.

I'd say its definitely a fair price. Can't remember the name of that particular model with the folding bayonet but I know they're pretty hard to find.
