Finally got around to going to the indoor range, to see what my 38 snub nose and 3.5" 9mm loads, would do.

Instead of getting three targets with just six 11" circles, I saw a new target with lots of targets on it, that filled the bill.

I had to only let it out ten yards, in able to keep the shots on target
with a foam rest, which was a "Bummer" to keep still.

All went well until the light loads with the 115 gr plated RN ,
that did have two fail to feed or eject, to jam the slide.

Even tried a few long OAL with three 124 gr bullets, which did eject, with the light loads.

Part way through my hand got the shakes and I had to take a short rest
and come back when things, calmed down.

These are loads for "My" guns, please work up or down in powder for your safety, if you try them.

Here is a picture of my outting.
Maybe some of the data can be of use, to someone?

PS;
my camera went on the fritz so this is a new try at posting pictures, hope it works out.

Note;
load #16 should be 6.3grs of HS-6

For my snub nose revolvers I used the same reloads I have for my other revolvers.

A few months ago the day after a Range Day I had to get a steroid injection in my right hand because I over used it.
 
Trigger Finger;

Trigger finger occurs when the affected finger's tendon sheath becomes irritated and swollen. This makes it harder for the tendon to glide through the sheath.

Trigger fingers are more common with certain medical conditions. Rheumatoid arthritis, gout and diabetes are risk factors for this condition.

Take care.
