Just got back from the range. Last night my Aunt gave me my Grandpa's Colt Official Police MkIII, so today I had to take it out to the range and try it out. This is my first Colt and my first .38 special. The recoil is very mile compared to my 1911. Makes for some really good accuracy shooting it single-action, had a 2" 6-shot group from 12 yards. after that I decided to back it up a bit, around 40 yds, getting easy hits on a 12"x24" steel target, even shooting double action. well decided to move it back a little further, got around 10/12 hits on the same steel at 80 yds shooting single action. Think I might have to take this little baby deer hunting this fall, does the .38 have the power to take a whitetail from 50-100 yds?
Either way I'm very pleased with the pistol and can't wait to get to shoot it again. Makes it that much better that it belonged to my Grandpa, makes her invaluable to me.
