Well guys I finally got her yesterday and I went to the range for a quick 25rds of 357mag and 25rds of 38 special, I have to tell you guys this little snubbie has a heck of a punch when using a full load of 357..man i did not even hit my target on my first load of 5rds, I was "man that was loud" i had to regroup and was able to hit it on my 8th shot,had to shoot at 15yds becs there were other guys at the range(outdoor).It's just a matter of getting used too that loud boom every time i used a 357,the 38 special was ok just like shooting a 9mm not a lot of kick..but all in all I like it!!!

just have to practice more and get used to her so she can be my alternate ccw piece..here she is and some target pics..as you guys can see I am anticipating recoil but can you blame me this thing is loud and i have to get use to the doa trigger even though it can be a singleaction too..

Nice little heater. Stick with the .38's till you get good and comfy with her and can cut the centers out of that target.

thats the exact pistol I've been looking at on gunbroker for a while now. Next time i've got the cash I would like to buy one. I'd like a 651 but I'd even settle for the 851. Seems like an ideal back up pistol or even main carry weapon.
