Five range trips, two guns, four returns for service and finally, finally, I have a functioning Model 66-8.
I sighted it in and then got down to work. The failure mode for the first gun was that, when the gun got warm, it jammed. I put most of a box of .38 range ammo through it, firing double-action. The cylinder got pretty hot.
So then I put up a fresh target and switched to 158grn. .357s. I rolled the target back to 25' and put thirty rounds downrange, all double-action, going for speed more than fine accuracy, as this is, after all, a short-barreled revolver.
It works:
It it hadn't taken most of a pregnancy in time to get to this point, I'd be a lot happier.
But yeah, it works.
