Shot the Model 10 snub nose
Folks:
The nickel, square-butt, faux pearl-stocked snubby is a nice shooter. Put 72 rounds downrange with it at 5 and 7 yards, SA and DA. Fired one of the tightest groups ever with it, but only one, alas. I use Claude Werner's target concept -- trace a CD with black marker and then fill in the hole in the middle with red. You can put 9 of them on the back of 25 yard pistol target. His version of "aim small, miss small," I guess. Only shot wadcutters.
Also test-fired the 9 mm 1911 which had the port lowered and flared so it would stop ejecting hot brass on my head, just 25 rounds of S&B 115 grain FMJ. Worked fine.
All in all, a nice Saturday morning of shooting.

Sounds like fun - although I've a real hard time seeing the sights on the shorter barreled pistols anymore. But a day at the range is a blast, no doubt!

Another un-appreciated gun by the "New Polymer Folks".... ;~`)
Big fan of steel and wood
Nickel-plated steel in one case, but steel nonetheless.

There are other choices?!!?

In the interest of full disclosure, there are a few synthetic/stainless items here. They are more tools than anything else. I like them for what they are. However the things that make the heart sing are walnut and blued steel (and, yes, on occasion nickel).
One thing that hasn't made it home with me is a short-barreled K-frame. I can't explain why. Yours sounds nice.
