With it's light weight I would not want to shoot full power 40 S&W loads in that 646 for any length of time.
IDPA was the reason I purchased this 646. The K-krame sized grip fits my hand a bit better than the N-frame, and it's light for an L-frame so it seems to get on target a little faster.



Decided to run some random ammo out of it the other day. "Draw and fire" double action only at 25 yards.

These loads did better than the other rounds shot, but I couldn't tell you what what in the clips except some bullets were pointier than others.

Less "pointy"


More "pointy"


Recoil wasn't as noticible as remembered. A pleasant surprise to shoot what's been more or less abandoned for 10 years or so. Too bad it's the only .40 caliber I own.
