Beats me shooting with WCs

Just picked up a nickel Model 10-7 snubby yesterday. Doubt if I could beat any of your times even shooting with wadcutters. And it's quite chunky, weight-wise, compared to the snubbies that you fired.
Speaking of which, I hope to put my first shots downrange with it on Saturday. Smooth but quite heavy trigger pull, at least 12 pounds. The serrated trigger does not help, either.

Is that M10 a square or round butt? In either case a Tyler grip adaptor will help immensely IF you can find one.
I recently picked up a Model 40 that also had sharp serrations on the trigger. I smoothed them up just a bit using a very fine abrasive drum on a Dremel tool. Be sure to tape the adjacent parts of the gun well with masking tape to protect the finish, and also the gap between the trigger and frame to keep any debris out of the action. Worked nicely and the gun is now lots more comfortable to shoot.
The short Model 10 is an "unsung hero" of the snubby world. Bet you will like that one.
Grip adapter

Yes indeed, I do a Tyler T-grip adapter on it. Mandatory for a revolver to keep it from slipping up and down in my grip and vertically stringing my hits. Or else use a Pachmayr small Presentation grip ...
It's a chunky little beast that I hope will be as straight a shooter as any of the rest of the K-frames I have. The weirdest-looking one is the K-14 with the 8 3/8 inch barrel. Highly accurate.

Grip adapter -- esp on J's -- put's in that 'NOW!' spot -

pronto....my las two guns to keep will be the 642 IWB [formal wear - access, security and concealment] and 442 Hip-gripped, for about the house, while working in the shop, and casual forays.
