Some truly great people here.
HRichard is definitely one of them.
Started a few years back.
I had a gun and he had it's mate of a holster.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago and I thought I recognized him looking for some 38 brass.I had a bit gathering dust so He paid me to ship it to him.
I feel bad about that.
Well on top of that I get some custom stuff to try

Fun time!!!!

My son He's 11 and I just got back from a little S&W jam session
Had a 4 screw 17 a never fired by me 4" 29-2 and a 6" 28-2
Well the 28 liked what it was getting fed
Thank you Sir

The 28

The 10 shot group

Thanks Bama

Does that sound right?

Darn, you threw one out! (Of the X that is). Maybe I need to adjust my crimp!. Great shooting, I see what fits into that Heiser holster. How did your 11 yr old do with that 17? Wonderful gun to start him on.

I did a side by side on that same load (2.7 Bullseye) and 3.0 Gr 231. They shoot identical, same POI and same group size. I think 231 is cleaner than Bullseye. I haven't chrono'd them yet, but when the temp gets somewhat warmer I'll see if that shows any difference.

I did throw one out and wasn't happy about it either.
I knew where it was headed before it got there.
I have a tendency to not keep my wrists locked in follow through
and throw some low left or high right because of that.

My son I've just started with handguns
I asked him if he wanted to go to the range last night and low and behold he did.The 17 wears his set of combats.S&W stocks are something
we are starting to collect together.I think that's what got him to go in the
first place was to try his grips.

I pulled this target after his first 3 shots
His best of the night

Looks like he is being taught pretty well. For your younger ones, see if you can fine a Mod 34 or 63, with a 4" barrel. The J frame fits the smaller hands good, as well as the lighter weight and doesn't give up much if anything in accuracy to the 17.

Big surprise
