How did you stipple that? That looks pretty good!

This is the Novak:

Note for POA/POI match you have to align the dot with the tops of the rear sight, try to center the circle and you'll be aiming quite low.
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
Sorry for posting & then disappearing there!
Yes, it is a Novak & BehindBlueI's is dead-on as to the sight picture. I think of it like a shotgun bead - I want to see the entire FO rod or white outline (I've used both) visible in the rear trough.
I used one of the inexpensive kits kits from OT Defense that I bought for my previous journeyman who wanted to try his hand at stippling. It's the first thing I ever stippled & took about 5 minutes.
1 1/2 fingers - I have biggish hands! But they are fully functional for me with stippling-easily 150% better & stays planted under recoil. The boot grips soften recoil as well as the stock grips for me. I've got arthritis in my thumbs & wrists and the other options I tried in wood, G10 & nylon were intolerable for me through a reasonable practice session. I'm pretty much stuck using some sort of Goodyears on any revolver that recoils worse than a 38 Spl K frame if I want to shoot more than a dozen rounds or so.
Question for the brain trust.
I have a Ruger LCR model 5450 chambered in .357. I only shoot .38 wad cutters through it. I really really like it.
Is there any down side to trading it in for a LCR model 5401, chambered in .38 special/+p?
I figure the most significant benefit is almost 4 ozs in weight savings; which since I pocket carry it, would be a good thing for me.
But maybe I’m missing something. TIA.

If you shoot it much, you might miss those 4 ounces. I find the fun meter starts going down hill after about 25 rounds with mine.
Yeah.
I might just buy the 5401 and compare them back to back. The wad cutters are not, really a load with a huge amount of recoil.
I mean, at this point I have shot the 5450 enough to where I’m very comfortable with it. So, shooting the 5401 will be just enough to confirm POI, but after that it will only get fired a cylinder or three a month.
Thanks guys.
The 5401 is one of the cheapest quality guns out there, just get one and decide later.
You could just leave the 357 in your gun bag so it always is there with you at the range.

I have, and use, both. 357 with 38's for range use and belt carry, 38 model for the pocket. I need to get a set of the Hogue boot grips or Eagle Secret Service grips for the 38. I friggin love the LCR family (4 in total, the other two are 22's) so much that I'm down to one J frame, and it's an older model 63.
