ive always been an avid handgun shooter. ive had 44mags for a long time and shot 45colt ruger loads that provide enough power that i never felt outgunned next to anybody...ive shot and owned a pile of 357 wheelguns as well and here is my problem;
ive been occupyed with job and settling a place here in alaska for the last bunch of years and to finance my excursion i sold and bartered a bunch of my guns to get my start. recently ive been able to start replacing my handguns with new and something is different.
the 629 roundbutt 44 i got with the 4 inch [my fav] barrel is just murder to shoot for anything longer then a cylenderfull of mag ammo. it punchs into the web of my paw something terrible and the result in accuracy is astonishing. my old 5 screw smith 29 shot so good that ive wondered why and what is the diff. the rubber grips on this new smith seem like they should be easier on my hand but nooooo...the old 5 screw had those walnut checkered grips and i could shoot em all day long...what happened??
also i recieved unto myself a gp100 ruger in blue and 6 inch barrel. nice with the underlug but bingo...i loaded some of my old favorite 158gr loads that spin along at somewhere around 1200fps and this stupid gun bit my web the same as the 44 does...now what the heck is going on???
have my hands gone soft or has something changed in the grip area of the new revolvers?
thanks and i look forward to the ribbing and also maybe some light on this desturbing trend....ill download before i give up on revolver shooting......
