OVERKILL
$100 Site Donor 2021
A friend and coworker of mine from Houston was down with us in Dallas this last time I was there (a month or so ago) and he always brings with him an assortment of hand guns. He has a 45, a couple of 9mm's, a 40, 380 and this time he brought his .357 revolver for me to play with at the range. I have very limited handgun experience but prefer a revolver over a semi. I've shot a variety of them at this point ranging in size from a small 9mm SIG to the larger framed 1911. However I had rented a nice Colt .357 the last time I was down and was quite smitten with it, and so he told me he would bring his next time we went.
We bought around 300 rounds of ammunition, and he brought another 200+ with him. I put about 250rds through the revolver, it was fantastic! Lots of fun. The range isn't super long, it is the DFW Gun club and I believe it maxes out at around 25 yards? I was shooting a bit left of centre with his gun, but I don't think it is my form, as I was shooting dead centre with the rental
This is the gun:
And here are two six shot groups at 15 yards, fired in rapid succession:
Ammo was primarily the inexpensive PerFecta brand stuff from Walmart, which seems to go bang when you want it to. No idea as to its performance otherwise.
Also, I was disgusted to see the same Federal .308 rounds that are over $30/box in Canada are $9/box in Dallas
Good Lord......
