I was pleased with it's accuracy -- not a tight group , but about a 6" spread at 10 yards. Certainly accurate enough for it's designed usage. |
Once you get to know your J-frame you will find it remarkably accurate FROM A BENCH. Masters of the two hand grip can do almost as well. That is why there is a large open market for J-frame grips. I tried the ERGO grip on my Model 638, but it interfered with my holsters. I have the S&W long grip that allows me to get 3 fingers on it. I got it from S&W on line, which no longer seems to be available???
