Thursday, my regular range day. I took my 1917 Enfield, my CZ 75D PCR and the old Colt Police Positive .38 S&W.
I only had 9 rds of ammo for the Colt, all loaded with 115 gr soft lead TCFP bullets over 2.5 gr of Bullseye. These were 9mm bullets, to match the 0.355" bore (yes, 0.355", what was Colt thinking?)
So on a fresh target, all 9 rds were sent. At 15 yds, all printed low left in a nice 4" pattern. Not bad for 104 years old and this 77 YO shooter. This revolver is NOT easy to shoot nor painless. the sights are small and not easily seen. Recoil is minimal, but that small grip means its not easy to hold and recoil such as it is is painful to the middle finger rapping on the trigger guard. But shoot it did and with no problems other than hanging on to it's grip. Well, I'm now looking for more brass. Donations of .38 S&W brass would be very welcome.
