I made it to the range today and it was 97 degrees in the shade but, I had the range to myself. The "new" Mod. 57, with correct N frame grips, the 29-4 with a 3" barrel and the tack driving 629-5 Classic DX made it a .40 + caliber day.
The Mod. 57 did not disappoint. The targets shown are head shots at 10 yards and body shots at 25 yards. All shots fired offhand, using two hands. 9.1 grains of Unique in new Winchester brass with 210 grain Hornday XTP bullets.
I forgot about the heat but, was glad to have a towel to wipe down between strings. There is, as you all know, something comforting and satisfying about the "Swiss like clockwork " action of a pre lock S&W.
It was an early birthday party and I got my wish, the Mod. 57!
