I love the gun! I don't have my old 2" version to compare it to anymore but it's a good shooter. The sights are much improved, and it's hard to overstate how much easier the new white-striped front sight is to pick up in the dark. When I took it to the range I was loading two or three rounds in the gun, leaving the other 2 or 3 chambers empty. This was to suppress any urge to flinch. After I put about fifty rounds through it I started loading all the chambers. At 7 yards my double taps were landing about 2" apart! Not bad for a guy that only ones on revolver. I almost found it easier to make precise shots DA than SA. The DA trigger is really excellent (the SA not as good as I expected but it will probably get better with time).
I'm not sure the range guys would like me to set up my Chrony on the lane!
But all my research suggest I'm probably getting around 150 fps more velocity from the 3" barrel than the old 1.87" version. The longer sight radius and better sights makes it considerably easier to shoot, for sure.
And I got an e-mail from Garrett than they sent my new holster today!
I mentioned in another thread that the IWB I got from them wouldn't go in the holster due to the sight channel not being high enough. So hopefully this one will be perfect.
Hahaha! It does look like something the Jack Nicholson
Joker would have carried!
It's not like they had a lot of options, and no green. They did have pink.
I'm secure enough in my masculinity to carry a purple gun, but uh...maybe not secure enough for a pink one!
