I took out my newest toy to the range the other day, and I was surprised at how accurate it is considering the barrel length. I tried out three different loads that I had, I fired five 170 grain #358429 SWC's with a moderate amount of Win. 231, five 158 grain SWC's with 3.8 grains of 231, and 130 grain or so lead RN's with a moderate charge of Unique. The 170 grainers proved to be the most accurate and this gun has a wonderful double action trigger, one of the smoothest I have ever shot. I am going to work up some better personal defense loads, either with some Hornady 125 grain XTP's or some 155 grain #358156 hollowpoints, but they should shoot just as well.
