Here are the results..

Nice shooting jwp. That looks like it would do the job. I've got to get out and do some shooting with my snubby. What load are you shooting?

That was the Remington 125 grain JHP +P load. I carry the Corbon 110 Grain DPX. The DPX shoots to the point of aim in this gun, with the 125 JHP +P shoots close but a little to the right. The 158 grain LSWCJHP +P shoots good on windage but rather high..

Thanks, I'm shooting both the same Remington load you are and the Speer 125 grain gold dots in my Taurus 38 Ultra-light with great results.

Say what does that gun run, thinking about possibly getting one. And hows the trigger pull on it. Thanks

You can look up prices on several gun supply outfits and the price isn't to bad on the charters, but you might want to take a look at the Taurus 38 snubbies. My Ultra-light simply has one of the best triggers, both single and double action I've had on a J frame size gun I've ever used. Here's Charter Arms site. Don't let the pink framed one turn you off.

I've shot J frame size coil spring Smiths and Colts and Charters for lots of years and it takes some doing to impress me. I'm impressed. I spent a lot of years working over revolvers in my shop and the little Taurus was one of the first that I've never had to touch out of the box.

Nothing wrong with the little Charters Tom, their a dandy little snubby.
