I don't say aword, just set up one of those po;ice type man shaped targets up and one hundred yards, pull out that $100 bill and set it on the bench with a weight so the wind doesn't blow it away and, sat, "That says I can hit the target out there. Put up or shut up." I've gotten a few takers but I still have that $100 bill. Oh yeah, the gun is an S&W M60, 1 7/8" barrel.

I thought the same thing the first couple of times I shot a snub nose revolver. Then bought a couple of better snub nose revolvers and learned how to shoot them. I find them about accurate as any other small handgun but regardless of the handgun, someone 100 yards away would be pretty safe from me. I found that 357 Magnum out of a snub nose revolver gets your attention.
