Default Ouch!!!!

call me a sissy, but 40 rnds was about as much "enjoyment" as I could take ....








i couldn't find much info on this one.
seems to be a bit of an oddball.
Not just the 3" barrel being less common
But everything I've read says the 360sc has a stainless cylinder .
This one has a lighter wt titanium.

this Airlite is lighter than my 642 Airweight with 1 7/8 barrel


AND, my hand is bruised now...LOL
I was doing fine slow fire .
It wasn't till I started putting cylinders full on the target in a hurry that the real pounding started
I'm by no means recoil shy..and shot the featherweight pretty well.
but this little popper AIN'T "fun" with 357mag loads.
I quit after 40 rnds


..L.T.A.

you are just a defective shooter. As a fellow coteper, I claim the right of non-wussyness. Please send all firearms to me.

AHA! The age-old 'Point of diminishing returns' seems to have been reached. When a gun is so light it's painful to shoot...it's too light. Here's an example in 38Spl. My wife's M615 Taurus.

Speaking to that, I load federal nyclads in my wifes 642. it is a great round for what it is. Probably the most accurate factory round i have run across.

Yeah, I hated shooting my 360sc ! Sold it and bought a 642. I recently picked up a 940 and the 642 is gone now as well.
