This is just a brief bit of range footage from this summer. I was trying out the Smith & Wesson Model 10 .38 Special that I purchased at an auction.

They certainly did (and still do) provide good service. The fixed sights are a bit of a limitation but if standard loads are used they seem to shoot pretty much to the sights.

Oddly I find I don't shoot a whole lot better using single action. When I shoot PPC most of the course of fire requires DA so I like to practice that.

Funny, the tapered barrel M10 did not interest me before, but now that I watched your video, I kinda want one. Also want a nickel plated M36. Love vintage .38 special. It’s my favorite caliber. Love my snubnose M10-5.

The standard grips look nice and classic but they are a hindrance to shooting the revolver to its potential. I have since added a set of Pachmayer grips and they help a lot.

Yes, it's 4" so 12(6). Being so classified made it much cheaper to purchase than a regular restricted. You pretty much have to load and cast if you want to any amount of shooting with .38 S&W revolvers, the factory ammo price is horrendous.

Got an Australian marked Model 11 in .38-200. Found that everyone's .38 S&W ammo was made with .357-ish bullets, and all leaded the bore horribly. Finally hit on the solution. 148gr hollow based wadcutters. 45/45/10 lube over some Unique, and they are good to go in both the Smith and the Webley.
@314299 Жыл бұрын
Good plan. I have some older ".38" molds that drop fat bullets so those are what I'll use, or I'll powder coat some regular .358" size bullets to bring them up to .360.
