Smith & Wesson 640 Pro Series, 2 inch barrel 25 yards freestyle standing. Ammo: Magtech 158 grain LRN. Group size: 3.866 inches, 2.137 if you subtract the derp-shot at the top right.

Ruger LCR 22LR, 25 yards sandbag supported. Ammo: Eley .22 LR 40 grain lead HP. Group size 1.885 inches.

The Security Six also turned in some pretty rad groups with other ammo, but by that time it was so cold that I called it and forgot to take pictures.

You can't hit nothin' with them snubnose revolvers. Barrel's too short fer akkerate shootin'. Those're "belly guns", fer point-shootin'.

I actually believed that until I borrowed my grandpas 642 and shot an 8" steel plate past 100 yards. I was like.. hmm 'mind blown' I did not grow up around funky wheel guns

How come the SS is 5 shots and the 640 is 6?

Good shooting either way; better n me freestanding with a j at 25.

I had six rounds left at the end of the day and I was shooting the 640, so I figured "what the hell, might as well load one more."

The Security Six was five because I was supposed to shooting and measuring five shot groups.

There's also a small chance that the 640 Pro Series group was mislabeled and actually shot with a Colt Cobra.

It would look cooler if it was shot with a Colt. Also:

lil' Cobra.

Ruger Blackhawk 45,



Smith K-22, 25 yards kneeling,



Uberti 1860. A friend borrowed it and shot one round. I finished it up empty, just curious how it shot on paper. Does OK I guess.




I was surprised at how well the J's shoot. I hit an 18" x 36" plate at the neighbors @ 200 yards after wasting a few ranging it in.

Hmph! Clearly you are all point shooting

[Chuck Haggard]

Was that the Double Tap .38 ammo you've written about elsewhere?

[jetfire]

Yes, the 158 grain LSWC. Very accurate in all my tests.
