| Took the S&W 317 and the .38 Colt to the range. Wasn't really clear on strategy, so I fired one round at each box, single action, , except on target #3, only had 27 rounds left. Not sure how to score them, so I'll just post pix. #1 S&W 317 two handed. # 2&3 Colt .38, one handed #4 S&W 317, one handed

| Is that similar to the S&W 317, in that the SA trigger is very nice and the Da trigger is ... um... atrocious?

I wouldn't call it atrocious, but it's definitely heavy. I think they need a little extra oomf over the centerfire guns for reliable primer ignition. My model 31 in .32 hits the sweet spot...lighter pull, and still very minimal recoil. |

I'd like to try it again with the mkIV a little further back. That last box took a lot of concentration not to screw the whole thing up, lol!
I shot it today trying to use a Viridian laser. I couldn’t get it zeroed so I shot two targets with the iron (plastic) sights. No-one will ever see those targets. I’ll try again Friday. |

| 92fstech, you aren't completely human. Those are awesome targets. I suspect Zeus slipped in one night and brought your Mom some posies and chocolates ....

Hey, this one was your pick, lol! But I agree, I can't figure it out either! quote: 92fstech I thought that your first target was really good but then when I read that it was one-handed, I couldn’t believe it. Absolutely fantastic shooting. And the second target from 7 yards with only two hands, wow! The completely clean one was with 2 hands. I threw a couple on the one-handed run. That 63-5 is a nice shooting little gun, though. quote: I'm not acing this exercise, am I? That TS2 target is pretty darn good. And based on my admittedly questionable understanding of the scoring ruberik, I think it would score pretty high. |

| Haven’t had time to do much shooting beyond some tinkering I am doing. That grid target would probably screw with my eyes at 7+ yards. 3 yards maybe. Awesome shooting.
