Shot a snubbie for the first time today

[gamestalker]

If you think that was a hand full, you should try some full house .357's through one of those. It brings a whole new meaning to felt recoil, but man it's fun for those of us who like all that. It will definitely do more than a cup of coffee does to get your eyes open.

You want punishing? Stop by and I'll let you shoot my 2.5 inch Bond Arms Derringer in .45 Colt.

Now y'all have gotten me leaning toward shooting the snub this week. Its a mod. 19 but its still a snub. Range trip!

The first snub I ever shot was an old High Standard .22. I was just a kid and I thought it would shoot around a corner. I had not been trained in pistol shooting. Was just learning. Couldn't the barn wall from inside! Yep...they laughed.

It's hard to go wrong with a Model 19. The only problem MIGHT be the slightly bulky size of the K frame. But if you shoot 357 you will greatly appreciate the added weight. I still believe it is S&Ws finest gun in 36 caliber

Picked one up today! Got a used one that has barely been fired at all. I can't wait to get this bad boy to the range for some bang-bang time.

Give the 22Lr or 22 WMR version a try. Fun gun.

DeadMoney, come back and tell how it turned out. Unload the gun and do a few dry fires while watching your sights. Try to find the trigger pull that moves them the least. Nice gun.

Martin, I managed to get in about 20 minutes worth of shooting at the range today before they kicked me out for New Years Eve early closing. The gun I bought has a very smooth trigger pull, and I like it a lot. Incorporating some of the feedback that the fine folks in this thread have given me helped a bit, too. I look forward to getting in some more blasting time with this baby.

You do cross thumbs, but not cross over the back of either hand. Support hand thumb crossed over gun hand.
