I took 7 S&W revolvers to the range yesterday, with the intention of just function firing the ones I have acquired that I never shot and, well, enjoying a couple of favorites. So I fired 6 out of the 7 because I had someplace to go and because the Model 64 DAO tired me out! Wow - it was like working hand grips that trigger was so hard. But I digress....

The recently acquired 4" heavy barrel Model 10-6 .357 Magnum was a pleasure to shoot. Those big grips are sweet! (All shooting was done with standard velocity FMJ .38 Special rounds). As noted, I was just really just quickly function firing some guns so I didn't spend a great deal of time with this revolver but I ran a cylinder full through at 3 yards double action, then 3 yards single action, then 7 yards double action, and 15 yards single action (I get really lost vision-wise at distance - I obviously need new glasses!).

I got a nice tight group the first time, a tighter group the second time (to be expected), a reasonable group the third time, and lo and behold, even with the blur I was in the ten ring at 15 yards. I'll wring it out in greater depth when I bring it to the range alone but, suffice to say, it runs very, very well.

A most excellent revolver! I love the oversized trigger, and hammer. They fall short of being Target style. The next time you shoot it double action, take note of the hammer fall...a very short stroke! Enjoy!

I love that smooth trigger, that's for sure. I think I noticed the hammer fall - next time I'll really focus on it.
