2) Experiment with different grips. Find what works for you. Revolvers are very flexible in that regard, because they don't have to accommodate a magazine with a stack of ammo through the grip. 3) Grip high. You don't have to worry about slide bite, like you do with an autoloader. When you shoot, try to align the barrel with the bones of your forearm. 4) Practice double action fire. Don't get too used to single action. 5) Don't flick the cylinder closed. Just, don't. <Shudder> Quote:

I love Smith revolvers. I have a bunch of them. What I don't have, however - and want want want - is a 67. I think they're sweet.
And I have plenty of confidence in .38 +P rounds for defense - especially through a 4" barrel.

Patina on a stainless gun? It would be either soot or rust. Stainless is easy to keep clean and you can polish it to a near nickel shine with Mothers Mag Polish and an old t-shirt.
The M67 is a fantastic revolver, with excellent accuracy and a great trigger. My advice is to lay in a supply of 148gr wadcutter ammo, find some grips that fit your hand well, and enjoy regular practice with your awesome revolver. |
