Bought the 2 a few weeks back just had to wring them out after I had gun smith [ Dan Bedell ] put tritium front sights on both.
They are both .357 mag and both weigh about 11 oz.
So started the T&E with .38 match wadcutters at 9 yards [ club restrictions while range is in use by others ].
They worked well and kept them all inside a 6" circle while shooting double action [ all shooting was done so ,for CQB purposes ].
Then I went to .38 + P rounds in 125 and 158 grainer weight,no problem and recoil was moderate enough to allow about 75 rounds to be expended.
the 'control gun' [ so to speak ] was a S&W 442 that was a much heavier 14 ounces and absorbed recoil better and recovery was faster by about 20 %.
I had to try the 125 grain .357 mag round through them and even at that range,it was possible to keep them in a fair group of no more than 11".
BUT that was a MUCH slower recovery and I would only want to shoot them in a CLOSE encounter so as to be able to recover enough to get rounds on target ASAP.
I am now carrying them as a BUG,loaded with GDHP + P 125 grain.
the barrel states that you should not shoot a bullet lighter than 125 grain --- too bad,as I have a decent supply of 110 grain.Guess they will see the Ruger 101 & Security 6.
