Lots of folks may label this a "poors" weapon, just by virtue of its brand name, which seems reasonable
. But honestly it's a (my example is) robust, well constructed, light weight seven (7) shooter .357, OEM ported, that is about as accurate as I can be with it. IMHO it carries light and handles/balances well, and my example has a beautiful trigger in it, outta the box, as compared to fancier moniker wheel guns.  |

Slowed me way down and a speed loader even pulled one out. I saw it, then half way through the cylinder I had the click, reflexively started to reload, then remembered I had an empty chamber.  .Felt pretty good besides that. I had a couple of low shots on stage three as well. Last time I shot this gun I was using heavier bullets and never adjusted back...dummy. |

I’ve been having the wheelgun itch lately so I finally bought a decent holster to carry my S&W Model 29. It’s a Mitch Rosen from Dillon Precision. I’ve got a lot of .44 Spl ammo so that’s what I’ll use. 200gr LSWCHP Federal in the gun. 200gr SWC Remington for the reloads.

Note the square butt. 60 3” S.&W. 357 MAGNUM Bottom row from left: 37 3” Airweight 38 SPL CTG. This revolver was in unfired, new in the box condition until I started shooting it. 66-1 4” S.&W. 357 MAGNUM This one is a KHP example. 10-8 4” 38 S.&W. SPECIAL CTG. This one is a police trade in and has a badge or inventory poorly etched in the bottom of the grip frame near the serial number. I always get a kick out different designations for the same cartridge and especially of Colt avoiding mentioning S&W in the cartridge designation and S&W taking every advantage of stamping another S.&W. On the gun. |
