Is that a Speed 6 with a 4" barrel?Along those lines I picked up a new range toy. Been along time since I've had a .357. Gotta say I'm enjoying this old school gem

Police six 4" barrel. Mint. No box though.Is that a Speed 6 with a 4" barrel?
It certainly was a surprise to myself!Great shooting with the M64, I also have a 64 that if I hold still it will shoot like an extension of my pointed finger. Pre lock stainless S&W's are my weakness.
Nice shooting!Been out of town, but I finally got to take the SW 64-5 back to the range after deciding to buy it from my friend instead of selling it for him, haha!
Ignore the top row.
The revolver 64-5 DAO is in the middle & last row circles.
Intended to shoot it at 21', but since the target was set at 30' for the top row 9mm, I just kept it at 30'.
6 rounds on each 5.75" circles.
Bottom left target had 5/6 rounds grouped better than I can shoot.
I believe we are witnessing my peak, never to be had again, haha!
Sweet shooting gun!

Maybe I missed it, but what load(s) are you using?Spent time at 40' and 20' with all the 38s today.
Short version, at 40' in S/A the Taurus wins hands down.
(1" means 1" from a middle point = a 2" circle, therefore, 4" around a middle point = an 8" circle)
The Ruger had a 6 round cylinder (I should have loaded only 5 for accurate comparison)
2" Taurus wins: 3 to 0/Ruger and 0/Smith (D/A only)
3" Taurus wins big again: 4 to 2/Ruger and 1/Smith (D/A only)
4" Taurus wins big again: 6 to 2/Ruger and 2/Smith (D/A only)
5" Ruger wins: 10 to 7/Taurus and 3/Smith (D/A only)
Short version at 20' in D/A = Taurus wins hands down.
2" Taurus wins: 5 to 2/Smith and 0/Ruger
3" Taurus wins: 10 to 7/Ruger and 4/Smith
Ruger beats out the Smith in the wider hits.
Short version at 20' in S/A = Ruger wins big (Smith 642 hammerless, no S/A)
1" Ruger beats Taurus by 1 round
2" Both tie (8 rounds each)
3" Ruger/12 to Smith/8 (Smith only had 10 rounds, but it still makes the point)
Smith 642 would have to go if trimming, but since it is hammerless it has utility for a CC.
Amazing to me that the Taurus beats out the Ruger in D/A: I know it is me, the X-factor.
You didn't miss it.Maybe I missed it, but what load(s) are you using?
Have you tried 148gr wadcutters?Function check with my Ruger LCR .38 special.
It is my revolver CC.
Only revolver today, but shot five 9mm for function checks.
At only 15' on 3.75" circles using 2 types of reloads
5 rds each circle.
