I've been considering getting a SP101 like you guys show in your pics. One thing that holds me back is the muzzle blast and recoil from such a small gun.
Are these things relatively easy to control or does it take quite a bit of practice?
Well...my intention would be to buy a .357 and load them down to something that is tolerable to me. I was just curious to find out from some of you that all ready own one if the full power loads are realistic to shoot from such a short barreled gun.
It would make no sense to me to pay about the same price for a .38 spec revolver and then be limited to the power of that cartridge when you can have a .357 for roughly the same price. You'd then have to option to go to full power loads or load them down to suit.
Ledberel your thinking just right. Why buy a .38 when the .357 can do it all. I have shot this caliber all my life. You can come up with a whole bunch of different combinations for the .357. You don't have to shoot full house loads all the time, I don't. I run what I call .38+p's through it at the range. The last 10 are what I carry, which are standard .357's. They do a good enough job on a BG. The main thing with these snub nose guns is practice. I don't care what you use for a bullet.
I just added a S&W 19-4 revolver to my group. I got it at the gun show. It's got holster wear and a few scrapes. It's a shooter. At the range the other day, and the trigger is as smooth as my Python. Two great shooting guns. Plus I just got a S&W M/21-4 too. Man I am in hog heaven.
My Dad's modest collection of firearms included a 5.5" barreled heavy frame Vaquero in 45 Colt with a high gloss finish and simulated ivory grip panels. The Model is 0573 and the Catalog number is KBNV-455-I and it shipped in 1999. Dad told me the story that he and my Mom were in an area pawn...
I'm 62 with three years max left in my working career. I've managed a fairly nice gun collection to keep my trigger finger loosened up in my retirement years and I can't tell you how many times I've told my wife " This will be my last one ". It's not that I was lying to her, it's just that I'm a...
So last week during my one of my usual stops at my local Gun shop to look at the Winchester Model 9422M XTR NIB rifle (With hang tag and all the trimmings) that I was waiting to pick up, my trusted friend takes me into the back where he holds guns that are of interest to me. He knows I have a...
