I've owned a 3 inch, 9mm SP-101 for years and still carry it pretty often. I usually belt carry in a Simply Rugged holster and just like most any other gun I carry it takes a while to get used to it.
That little popper shoots so well that I'd keep it as my only carry revolver over the rest I...
You may want to buy a pistol rack. It keeps them horizontal so air can circulate. Wipe them down good and check them a couple times a month for grins and giggles.
Give a look at the S&W 422-622, they're no longer made but none of mine have ever had a hiccup. They are under barrel pistols with aluminum frames making them a great choice for youngsters. The barrel and actions are steel and holdup very well.
I own a -3 and carry on milk runs. I'm thinking all had barrel nuts but not 100% sure. Your best off asking the adapter question at EWK. Mine had hiccups the first couple boxes but has been flawless ever since.
At 5 yards I can eat the bullseye out of a target as fast as I can pull the trigger...
I've got a soft spot for them as well, in "73" I bought a S&W 61-3, the Grandfather of all the Smith under barrel .22's. Then (2)422's and (2) 622's and shoot all of them quite a bit. I've had the occasional FTF/FTE with them all but none were the pistols fault.
I pocket carry the Escort for a...
I still own/shoot one. The front sight is a brass blade that is a 16th of an inch thick, sheet stock brass should work well for fashioning a sight. Be carefully removing the saw handle stocks as they tend to break on the top.
I shot many a box of LR shells in it years ago but now limit it to...
For the money I'd buy a Dan Wesson....mine shoots much better than I can...Dans were designed with many features that make them easy to shoot well. Once you get used to the short cycle action you'll be shooting like a pro.
Good luck on your search and enjoy shooting your new purchase......:)
Slick,
Those are some mighty fine shooting irons ya got there!! And an honorable mention to Baldy and his sixes. We will need a range report Slick.....
Some leading can be attributed to the bore of your gun as well. Having said that, if not driven at high velocity you are liable to get a little to no leading. Try a box of many different brands and keep notes.
Let Us not forget that for all it's apparent shortcomings the venerable .38 special in all its various designs has put many a bad guy in potters field. New bullet designs have increased most all calibers effectiveness and the .38 caliber is still one of the most carried to this day.
Shoot jacketed slugs....I'm not being flip or a smart ***. Shoot a few hundred jackets outta the little blaster, if you think lead will shoot better afterwards. Switch back and give it a go.
You may be running those lead slugs too fast or with too low Brinell or both.
