Went to the range today for a couple hours to work on shooting with my P226 and took a 1978 SW 27-2 along for the heck of it. Have shot it very little, never hit much with it. Inherited from father in law. Not sure he ever really shot it either.
Well as some may recall I've recently started paying attention to the basics of pistol shooting and am finding some real (basic) success with it now. Well it turns out this wheelgun is a friggin tack driver. Shot the last 25 or so rounds of 38spl I had. double action wasn't that hard to be accurate with and single action is an extremely light pull. didn't try double tap type stuff but this again is a whole new world of shooting. I always thought 'well it's neat but doesn't hit anything so i'll move on'. Really is something when you humble yourself and open the mind to instruction.
This picture isn't my actual gun but looks identical. 6" barrel.
Am now considering trading an unused shotgun towards a GP100 Match something or other Ruger.
BTW I ran out of 38spl and opened a box of .357 mag I had. Like a cannon compared to the 38 and actually hurt the bone at the base of the thumb when you get high up on the grip. Bullseye accuracy though.
just cause I like pics here's the Sig. I'm beginning to think I could shoot faster without the red dot. I think the technique is a bit different. had a nice chat with Rick Lee recently about Sigs and I'm sorta kinda watching the auction sites for an inexpensive 226 to add to the safe. they really just feel like quality.
