I've been debating on whether to keep it pristine since I got it two months ago and finally decided it should get a chance to do what it was built to do.
It's a special order Model 68 for the LAPD in 38 Special and I posted a few pics of it in the Revolver pic thread, including this one:
Anyway, I cleaned out my reloading shed and did some reloads for the first time in 10 or 15 years and went out this afternoon to find out which of 5 test loads it liked best.
I was too late to get into the range so I had to go out into the desert and shoot off the corner of my pickup's tailgate with one knee in the dirt. Not ideal, but fun anyway. Here is the best result I got out of the five variations I tried:
I wonder if they still have the short range pistol silhouette matches like I used to shoot in 20 years ago? It was called 'Hunter's Pistol' and I might like to try it again with this gun, even though my eyesight ain't what it used to be. I really like how substantial the gun feels (It's a Model 66-2 frame overstamped to 68-2) and it felt great plinking around with it after I did the ammo tests.
