Okay, took my .38 special astra cadix to the shooting range this weekend for the first time. Was a lot harder than expected. Recoil is heavy and my shooting skills apparently not so good. The target swissman is showing off on page 2 of this thread at 27.5 yard is very impressive compared to our efforts. We shot from 15m (16.4 yards) free standing and sometimes missed the target completely. Maybe we just need some practice... We bought the cheapest ammunition (reloaded) we could find, I suspect the ammo is also not performing so good, had some that was deformed a little. Not sure if the quality ammo could affect the accuracy...?

T-Star, I tried, but could not adjust the grip at all.

Overall I am very impressed with the revolver. The 4 inch barrel seems to be more accurate compared to the snubnose, less noise and little less recoil.

Next I am looking into getting affordable ammunition that is decent quality for target shooting or maybe I should start reloading myself...

Frikkie
