Smith & Wesson Model 52
Had an interesting morning at the range today. Was shooting my Glock 19 as usual.
Another guy let me borrow two of his guns. The first was a 9mm SIG, I don't recall the model (226?), and it was nice but not really much different from the Glock. I really didn't like the trigger.
The second was a S&W Model 52 with .38 wadcutter and a 4 pound trigger. Was that a sweet gun! First several rounds I shot high, then he told me to use a 6 o'clock hold, next several rounds were all in the 10 ring and half were in the x-ring. This is at 25 yds, standing slow fire two-handed. That is much better than I did with the Glock (or the SIG). Nice heavy gun, easy to hold steady, not much kick. Almost felt like it was shooting itself.
Anyone have a model 52?
I've never thought of getting a .38 auto-loader before. But I really enjoyed that.
