So I took the Puma out to the range today. 200+ rounds of .38 Special, no magnums. It seems to function well with the shorter rounds, chambered them smooth and easy, holds 9 plus 1 in the chamber in the 16" model. I first sighted it in at 25 yards from the bench and them moved out to 50 yards to see what it could do. With my handloads, both 158 SWC and 158 RNFP (850 fps from a 4" revolver), it shot perfectly centered into 3-4" groups. I thought this was more than acceptable for cowboy loads. For my last group of the day I went to my pocket and loaded five of the Speer "Short Barrel" 135
+Ps and put them into a 1 1/2" group, I was very happy. I would have brought a box out to the range if I would have known it's preference for jacketed bullets. The gun smoothed out considerably during the shooting session. My only complaint is that the trigger is a little heavier than I like but id does not have any creep to speak of. My overall opinion is that it is a nice little gun for $400 that has alot of potential. Loaded with .38's it makes for a very nice plinking gun, I am eager to put some .357's through it. It is a keeper, Bill!
