FIRST TIME TO THE RANGE; ADVICE PLEASE

I should also add...work your way up starting with 38 specials, but do not be afraid to run some .357s through the Model 27. It may not be the best idea on your first range trip given your level of experience, but it's heavy enough to tame the recoil, and you can get a feel for what made it such a great cartridge. Again, you may want to save that for another range trip, but don't be afraid. I don't know your size, but hold on tight with two hands at least for the first one. You'll be alright. If you don't like them, then grab some more 38 specials, you WILL like those.
I have no experience with .357s in the M19.
