Now lets leave the comfort zone and head for the real world....
Look closely, two in the air, one close to the wall, and two in the '9 ring', 25 feet away. Very controllable.
One hand control was not a problem. I would be hard pressed to say this was worse than the .45, definitely more power but certainly not an issue for control.
Two hands on deck, first clamor out of the box, 25 feet. I was happy with this, given factory ammo and all factors above. By the end of the day my best group was 6 in a silver dollar size ring, again at 25 feet.
Momma lines up with the.357, .38's in the chamber. Her day ends with excellent marks, she's hooked.
Just a great day!

Hey Rick, I'm not sure if you saw these yet since you have been away for a while, so here you go.
Momma and I finally made it to the range today, this gun did not disappoint at all. It literally blew me away. I was afraid it was going to be more difficult to control, compared to the .45, my concern was for not. I was able to consistently double, my personal favorite, on the mark or better than I could with my .45. Very cool gun, very cool round. My only complaint is the trigger pull is quite a bit harder than it is on my Series 70, just a minor thing though.
Momma has improved considerably with the .38, has no interest in the .357 as of yet, which is just fine.
Our next outing will be into the back country in order to distance ourselves from the zealots and do some 500 yard shots with R700. Momma's idea, not mine.
I could not be happier tonight.
Pics to follow this weekend.
