New gun range report

[senorgrand]

OK, so I bought a S&W 617 right before I lost my job and became a consultant again. Timing is everything, amIright?

Anyway, the day I got it, I dropped of to a local gunsmith who used to do trigger jobs for Apex before they bailed on Los Osos. The thing has an INSANE trigger now. I shot about 250 rounds of Golden Bullet and was very impressed. I did have about 6 FTF though. I might increase the hammer drop some.

Here's 10 at 10y...this I believe an NRA smallbore rifle target.

Then I shot the new-to-me 642, using some Magtech 158g LRN. Jesus, it's like having a firecracker go off in your hand. After 50 rounds, I was shaking my hand. I've got to try a new grip on it.

I did manage this insane 3-shot group at 5y.

I'll never shoot a group as good as that. Jesus...I just put the gun away after that.

Good fun. Most unfortunate about the sting in the hand.

Yeah, Marlene is right about men and snubbies.

Yeah, Marlene is right about men and snubbies.

Yup - unless it' a Colt Police Positive in a 2.5" barrel shooting .32 wadcutters. Then it's as benign as shooting 22LR.

Yeah, I think some of the discomfort could be mitigated by a fatter grip.
