Getting Old but still kick'n
Spent some time at the range while visiting my friends in East Palatka.
Had three of my toys.
1)EDC S&W 342, 10.5 oz of kick-a&&, 38+P
2)S&W 60-10, 24oz, 3inch, 357
3)S&W 625-2, 45 APC.
This was the 1st time at the range for the 625 sense having the barrel swapped, 5" for 4" and a Ti cylinder install. It was shooting high until I dialed it down.
The other two I shoot for practice. The 357 doesn't kick 1/2 as good as the 342. There is almost 16 oz difference in weight when loaded. Grouping tell the story.
The big surprise was my buddies S&W .380 Bodyguard. I have 380t's but they are not my go to toys.
His had a built in laser. It was more accurate than I would have guessed.
I use 50ft NRA Rifle targets at 25ft. The bull is 1.5 inches.
The red dots are the 380 and the green are from my 342.
The other target in the 625. I think it's 6 full moon clips.

The targets I understand but what are those big shiny things in the last two pictures?

Boy Toys,
S&W 625-2 & S&W 342-1 
The pointy thing is one of Bill's D2 folders.
Both have Ti cylinders.

That .45 revolver is sweet.
Happy Presidents Day - I was blessed to spend a couple of hours on the range today also - but nothing so nice as those S&W classics - just a 9 and .380 that needed breaking in for the wife.

Even older..
FOGs like me and Jerry can't keep up with you young whipper snappers. All those clips you use in automatic guns..
I'll stick with the slow and steady revolvers..
