This gun is several firsts...my first revolver and my first true carry gun. My only other gun is a Beretta 92FS, which is a bit uncomfortable to carry, but this thing rides nicely in my pocket in a DeSantis Nemesis holster. Just got it Saturday, shot it for the first time on Sunday. The trigger pull is heavy like all DA snubbies, but it's super slick with no grittiness. Complete with both front and rear Trijicon night sights.
It shoots accurately with 158 gr .38, but shoots a little low (though with consistent groups) with 125 gr .357 (which I've read is somewhat normal for a light, fast-moving round...right?). I'll try some heavier, slower .357 to see if that improves things. Not that shooting .357 out of a snubbie is pleasant, but I'd rather carry a .357 than a .38 and I'd like the most accurate round possible. Any thoughts on that would be appreciated.
Also, is dry-firing this ok, or should snap caps be in place? If the firing pin needs something to hit against, will spent casings work instead of snap caps?
I think the first order of business for this is to get some new boot grips...perhaps in a nice wood. In the meantime, since no New Gun thread isn't complete without pictures, enjoy!
