I am surprised on how difficult it was at the range yesterday shooting my S/W 642 Airweight 38 1.78 barrel length revolver.
I have shot it one other time at the range when I first got it, but it seemed so much harder this time.
I'm sure shooting S/W 38 large frames (10-8 and 64-7) has spoiled me, but it was difficult.
I brought in the normal 20 feet that I use with my small 9s to only 10-15 feet (I'm so ashamed) to reduce my "pattern."
I did not enjoy it and I ended up doing a rapid fire "point and shoot" at 10 feet to make sure it would be OK in a panic situation.
This is why I bought the larger frame 38 revolvers, for pure range fun.
I also bought a Walther PPS for use on the range, b/c I'll rarely carry it, but it is more functional a the range for me since it is bigger than my Ruger LC9 and Taurus 709 Slim (which I intend to sell one or both of them).
I will buy a Shield whenever I can get one for what people bought them for new with the rebate: $225-$250, and not a penny more.
Then I will sell the Walther PPS.
Unless I decide to keep the Walther.
