Range Report: A Smith & Wesson Day!

[mesinge2]

Brought my new 4" model 22-4 with my 4" model 586(no dash) and my 3" model 629-6 Talo. All targets set at 14 yards.

First up is the 3" .45 ACP model 22-4 with Hornady XTP+P 230 grain loads:

Then the .45 again with Magtech 230 grain FMJ loads:

Then the 3" .44 Mag 629-6 with 240 grain Magtech FMJ 44 Mag loads (I threw 3 shots into the 'C' zone ):

Finally, my favorite Smith 357, a 4" 586 no dash with Fiocchi 158 grain Hornady XTP loads:

The .45 ACP had more recoil more than my 1911s but not overly so. I would equate it to a .357 magnum K frame gun. Its not near the level of recoil as my 3" 44 Magnum. I really love the model 22; it is definitely going to be my new EDC for a while!!

Check you out going DA on that flame thrower - you stud!

BTW - I tracked down a case colored 22-4 to go with my 21-4 I will post it in the Classic/Heritage picture thread when it gets here.

EDC a rainbow beauty like that 22? You're my hero

For full enjoyment, fire it on a moonless night ---
I fired some of mine as well as my .500 on dark night's, had to stand still for awhile untill I could see where I was walking ---
