Finally got Jr into shooting! He is 13 and just never took an interest until now. Patience won out. It's funny, both of his sisters wanted to shoot Dad's BIG GUNs from 6 on. Oldest loved my 357 and was given a 3" GP100 for her 8th grade graduation! Middle Daughter got an OU 20ga for her high school graduation. Never saw such a natural wingshooter!
So he is already bored with his Rough Rider 22lr, but that is ok cause Dad needs a snake
gun. Getting him a SW Victory since the Mark 4 recall stopped us from getting the Hunter version.
But we were at the range and he shot my SP101 2.25" with my DEWC reloads and really like it. Plus he likes revolvers, and that is pretty rare in this Call Of Duty generation.
So I'm thinking a 3" j Frame is the ticket. And since I have to order it, I'm wanting input on the SP101 vs LCRX in 3". He handled a SW Pro M60 the other day and liked it, but wasn't sold on it. I liked it, but would have to replace the sights for target shooting and that is just added expensive. Neither of us liked the stocked "Night Sights" on the M60. He also handled a SP101 with the 4" barrel but still liked the 3" version. Hasn't held the LCRX in the 3" version yet.
And before someone asks, no he doesn't like the way a 4" balances. Plus I would/could carry the 3"j Frame-ish snubbie when Jr gets tired of it and moved up to a 4" or longer. So I'm thinking ahead.
And it really doesn't matter if the SP101 is 357 and the LCRX is 38.
