As some of you may remember, The 19 was given to me by my Uncle. This was the first time I’ve shot it.

I have the same gun. It's fun to shoot with 38 spl. loads, but it is a handful with full power 357 Mag. loads. 6 shots of 357 Mag and I'm done. My hand start to hurt after that. :o

I love the little snubbies. Smiths are good guns. Nice group with that one, and with adjustable sights you can bring it more centered... if after practice you find it stays left. I put some factory oversized grips on mine and it made the brutal recoil on the featherweight M&P340 much easier to handle with the .357 rounds, and I cut my group size in half. The scandium frame makes the gun unnoticeable to carry, and it's even pleasant to shoot with 38 special, and controllable with 38+p. With 357 mag and the skinny factory grips, it was an OSHA report waiting to happen. :lol:

Nice centered groups with the semi. :P
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.
