At the range after work and was shooting my new Sw 686. Saw a family shooting plastic guns in the lane over, so offered to let them try some steel. A boy no more than 14 years old took me up on the offer. Anyway after a brief lesson in proper firm grip, keeping fingers away from the cylinder gap, and how to put it in single action, I loaded up the cylinder and supervised him shooting it. Did I mention I loaded it with 5 38 spc rounds and 1 .357 mag round, which I indexed as the last charging hole? He handled the first shot properly with a proper firm grip, so I let him continue to finish the cylinder.
The last .357 mag round put a huge smile on his face. Don't worry, it was only slightly hotter than the 38 spc, but with more muzzle flash. Mom took a pic with him and the gun after. I gave him the .357 mag casing as a momento. Seeing that kid with a big smile after shooting my revolver made my entire range trip worth it. Just thought I'd share .
