Our new family member was just delivered, and he's cute as a bug. The little devil is six and a half inches long and weighs one pound, seven ounces.
This is our first snubby, and our second hammerless revolver.(I've got a nice old lemon squeezer)
We spent some time last night dry-firing at the light switches around the house, getting used to the grip and trigger. The trigger pull is similar to my 686, and I'd call it not too bad. The shape of the trigger is curled a little too tight for my fat finger, and the end of the trigger digs into my finger a little more than I like but --hey it's not my pistol. Mrs. jd doesn't seem to have the problem with her skinny little digit.
We got home late tonight, but had enough time to run up the hill and burn up a box of my 38 reloads. The instruction manual says not to use reloads, but we were just born to be wild.
My chick started out good but went down hill the more she shot; probably a case of weenie finger. At any rate our 14" gong didn't stand a chance at 15 yards, or at 25 either. Before we were out of shells, I stepped back to 50 yards and scored 4 out of 5 with the last two cylinders. Fourteen inches is a pretty big target, but at 50 yards I think I proved that this little pistol is shooting POA.
Next time we go we'll get it on the paper with a few different loads; Might even try some factory stuff. I'm not much at posting pictures, but I'll try to get around to it. jd
