Dude, you can't even find Vaqueros nowadays! I mean, panickers are snapping up SA revolvers just to have something! Nuts!
Congrats!

Forget about stopping power. If you can't hit it, you can't stop it.
There. Are. Four. Lights! -
Lemme put a couple hundred rounds down range and i'll let you know haha.
I was originally in the market for the spurless model but i have a feeling the one i'll bring home will grow on me. I'll definitely keep it in mind. Thanks."Then there are sheepdogs.

Finally.
I apologize in advance for the crappy pics, and the amount of them haha. Range report hopefully coming soon. I waited literally 45 mins to break her out this afternoon at turners.

I also have a 2 1/2" SP101. Wasn't fond of the original rubber grips so I got the BADGER compact grips for it. Looks great, feels great. However I notice it changed the natural aim point. Now it points a little high.Comment

Range report: So, i got back from vacation a day early and this morning it dawned on me that i could hit the range. Which is exactly what i did! I was a little intimidated cause not only in this thread, but random people i had spoken too had said it was a ***** to shoot with .357. Well, it was a little hard to handle off the bat i'm not gonna lie haha. I had an absolute BLAST shooting this little hand cannon though. After i figured out my grip and how tight to hold the thing it really was fun. I was literally laughing to myself the entire time at how ridiculous it was. Literally fireballs coming out of it, you could see the pressure of the blast kick up paper and powder particles 10-15 yards down range. It was AWESOME. The manual states you want to keep it at a 6 o'clock hold, i didn't find that absolutely true. A good center hold was doing fine. Also once i got the grip down i started focusing on the fundamentals and my trigger pull mainly which helped drastically with my accuracy (shocking, huh) I was definitely flinching but when i wasn't this thing was pretty damned accurate. I ended up putting 95 rounds of .357 and 20 rounds of .38 special down range. I was having literally the time of my life, i was still grinning half way home. To the ones that say it's not that pleasant to shoot with .357 were about half right. If you can get over the battered hand muscles afterward and focus on how much of a complete blast this thing is to shoot with full loads it's worth it. I tried shooting the .38's afterward and they weren't nearly as satisfying. The thing came back and bit me once or twice by me not gripping the thing correctly which helped with my evolution of learning how to shoot a wheelgun haha. As for the practical uses for this thing, unless you're arnold shwarznagger or chuck norris it'd be pretty hard to bee effective in a gun fight. Now as a bedside gun where you'd only need one or two rounds (which is probably literally all you'd need, just by the way this thing womps) i could see it being practical. It was definitely turning heads at the range and attracting attention. I felt bad cause in the lane next to me was a father teaching his two younger sons and their mom how to shoot, i literally apologized in advance haha. Definitely happy with my first wheelgun, now to expand the collection!
Conclusion? .357 is an absolutely AWESOME round to shoot and a blast at the range. Recommended by me for sure.

Just before the first shot.

After the first 20 rounds. I was literally all over the place. It was more of a learning curve than i had anticipated. This was about 5-6 yards away haha. SA, DA, supported, unsupported.

This was after consolidating to just SAO, another 20 rounds

After the first 50 rounds.

I learned real quick how to, and how not to hold a revolver haha. A couple times the cylinder lock/release(?) came back and bit me, it was spraying blood all over just by the pressure of the round itself.Last edited by Mr.1904; 05-05-2013, 4:41 PM."Then there are sheepdogs.

This was after the next 45 rounds (had to save five for whatever), i was shooting in SAO and at 7 yards, you can literally see the learning curve.

This was my shot at DAO at 7 yards. Could need some work. (i can't even tell you where the 5th round went, unintentionally put it into SA and pulled the trigger expecting DA, oops, that's how lines get shot down..)

Again i apologize for the crappy cell phone pics. Any advice on how to make them any better?
And any advice on cleaning? Certain spots in the action to keep extra clean? I can use a 9mm boresnake to clean the barrel and cylinder right?"Then there are sheepdogs.
