Smith and Wesson 52-2, Equipment can make up for weak technique

[pmclaine]

I guess equipment can make up for poor skills.

This is a good day at 10 yards for me, off hand 2 hand hold, with my K22, 50 rounds. I have about 1800 rounds fired through this gun in the last year and a half.

This is a reasonable day for me firing my Commander two hands at 10 yards, 50 rounds. I have close to 3K rounds through this one in 2 years.

This is the result firing my 52-2, (a gun I didnt know existed a week ago) after working a double, with crappy ammo that I had to hand cycle, in a rush to get home, and with the sights set however the last owner preferred them. This is the only 50 rounds I have ever fired in this type gun.

I need to ask for a refund on my .22 and .45 practice rounds.

Where are you getting the "blunts" to run in the 52-2?

Blue Northern has some Sellier & Belliot (Sp). They dont run in my 52-2. I had to hand cycle practically every shot. I'm planning an SDB dedicated to reloading for this gun in the future.

The SW Model 52 is probably the most accurate gun Smith ever produced. A semi tough gun to shoot. The gun holds a lot of records at 50 yards.
