First Time Shooting a Revolver

[9mmsubgun-m11]

You might look into reloading for your new gun. You can save a little money and custom tailor the loads to the power level you prefer.

We used to put a dime on the back strap of the unloaded pistol and pull the trigger nice and smooth so that dime would stay right where we left it when the hammer fell. That wasn't easy but it can be done with lots of practice.

Another drill we did was the light stitch drill where you practice drawing the unloadded pistol on the light switch. First coming up on the plate around the switch til you are on it every time you draw then moving to the switch itself til you are on it every time, then moving to the screws until you are on them every time.

....and get one of those squeezy things to build up your hand muscles.

Lots of good advice has already been given. I just wanted to say that although I mostly shoot revolvers, I believe in using only one grip which is the same grip I would use on a semi-auto. I don't want to take a chance to damage my hands by accidentally using a grip with my thumb folded over when I grab a semiauto. I'm rightie and shoot with both my thumbs pointing forward along the left side of the revolver. On j frames I pay extra attention to position my thumbs so they don't get cut by the cylinder release.

One more comment. I have found Magtech ammo provides acceptable accuracy but it is rather dirty.
