LOL, Yeah that would work, Then again I suppose you could get the

FWIW I very rarely shoot .357's its hard on my K-frame revolvers. When I
shoot wheelgun matches I use 151 gr RN Super .38's I load into .38
special cases. UD
Mine is an S&W Mod 28-2. I don't often fire .357 rounds through it. Usually
it's just .38 wadcutters. I've got hundreds of those damn things from when
I had two brothers who were cops.
This isn't mine, but it's the same pistol.

I am not a firearm guy, but it doesn't look like a very efficient
piece of equipment. Not trying to be an ass, just sayin'...

Well, how do you define 'efficient'? It does what I've wanted it to do, and
it was a gift from a cop.

It's not as efficient at some things as at others. All depends...

I dunno, it looks like it has a pretty short barrel so unless someone
is a pretty good shot, my understanding is that a weapon like this is
not good for anything beyond a few feet. Hard to handle too I would
imagine, must have a hell of a muzzle lift, but again, I don't know
from firearms


But as you yourself say, you don't know from firearms.

So, it isn't good for anything beyond a few feet. Why not stand 15 feet
"downrange" and have someone shoot it at you and see what happens.

That'll settle the question for you.
