the New York police seems to be accumulating a lot of civilian casualties. Maybe they should go back to revolvers AND LOTS OF TRAINING! That 8 lb. trigger ain't doing the job! Safety is in the mind! Not a heavy trigger pull.

.40 S&W Load My favorite load is the Nosler 150 gr. JHP and 7.8 gr. of Longshot. Hodgdon has good info for reloading on their web site. I like Longshot for a lot of my loads. My .45 ACP load is a Nosler 185 gr. JHP and 7.8 gr. of Longshot. Same powder and both loads are tack drivers!

Mike Priwer I'm from WF, too. My Grandfather had a newspaper with pic's of a public hanging from the '20's, Berger gang, I believe.

Dry fire it a bunch! The action will smooth out and you'll build the necessary strength in your gun hand/trigger finger. A lot of times, the "jerky - rough" feel is because your finger hasn't acquired the strength required. Check some of the "old" smith & Wesson revolvers and feel how SMOOTH...

We keep hearing about the superior steel used in the "new" Smith's, yet the pressure in the old .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum (plus Keith's loads) were all greater than current loads of those cartridges. Just a random thought, since all of mine are "old" Smith's. And I NEVER heard of a Smith &...
