blind bat Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Zero. I just got a 642 for Christmas and haven't had a chance to get it to the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 How many for you Flex? Lets see... I've had mine about a year, but didn't mess around with it much until spring or so (it had a barrel that was off a bit, sent back to S&W). A have a few good range sessions on it, a few more shorter sessions and 3 Steel Challenge matches. Probably around 800 rounds or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Less than a box. Just messin' around. I used to shoot it in the bug events when I went to IDPA matches. Then I got to running around with a bad crowd and haven't been to any of those lately. Maybe next season I will make it to one of those j-frame challenges. They are good fun...and enlightening.

RevolverJockey Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I put another hundred through it yesterday on Outer Limits. I had 100 wad utters to burn and thought that might be good practice. Run on a timer, average was around 7 seconds. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind bat Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Update to post #96. Went to Wally World and picked up 50rds Federal 158gr LRN, 100rds of WWB 130gr JFP, 50rnds Win +P 125gr JHP. I shot up everything except for 10rnds of the +P stuff. 10 rounds over the chrono @ 10ft, 40 degrees F, 15y from IDPA target: Fed 158gr: Avg 648fps, ES 29, SD 9, Avg PF=102 (Shot high. Got a little faster with each shot - slowed with the reload - then faster) Win 130gr: Avg 700fps, ES 64, SD 23, PF=91 (Shot closest to POA, best "group" freehand @ 15y) Win 124gr: Avg 877fps, ES 28, SD 8, PF=109 (Shot high left, outside of -0, nothing close to a group. One shot was was -100+fps from every other shot so that was deleted but good to note. No key holing observed but something isn't right with this load/gun combo ) I had no problem keeping 5 shots in the -0 zone from 15 yards with the 130gr WWB load. I shot most of of my ammo up on a plate rack at 10y. It was quite fun. Way more enjoyable than my LCP with similar PF loads. I then switched back to my CZ 75 Shadow, <2lb SAO trigger. Shooting 135pf 9mm loads felt like I was shooting a pop gun... once I found my sights. Do you guys have a plinker J Frame load?

wlktheduk Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Blind Bat: the classic .38 special target load is a 148 grain lead hollowbase wadcutter (HBWC) loaded over any one of the following powders: 2.7 grains Bullseye 3.2 grains WW 231 2.5 grains Clays Out of my 2" J frames, these loads produce between 640 to 670FPS As a plinker load, these work well. As always, YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felt Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Maybe about 600 total a year from a 442. 100 of those being at a "500" PPC Match, between a handful of us that have 5-shot wheel guns and are ok with loading using speed strips. The next 150~200, are just trigger time and carry load testing. The rest was drawing from the carry holster and shooting on the move from inside 21ft. Plinker load; 2.5gr of WST or 2.3gr of S1K behind a 148gr HGLWC Edited January 3, 2012 by howie feltersnatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1911 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 On my 642, less than 100 rounds and 0 in competition. But then I don't carry it anymore -- I've replaced it with a Kahr PM9. My 317 and 60 just got their annual cleaning, but they haven't made it out of the safe except for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBeck77 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I probably shot 200 rounds out of my 642 and several hundred rounds out of my 4" 63. None were timed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imashooter2 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) From my 360: 300 - 350 +P 125 grain JHP reloads (my practice load). 20 of the Speer 135 grain +P short barrel (my carry load). 10 Remington 125 grain SJHP .357 mags (my remind myself why I don't carry mags in my 11.4 ounce pistol load). None of them under a timer. Edited January 4, 2012 by imashooter2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71Commander Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I own 3 J frames. 432PD 342PD 37 SB no dash. In answer to your question- zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
357454 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 How many rounds have you put through your J-frame(s) in the past year. How many under the clock? Less than 50 rounds per year, none on the clock, or under it. I carry it in a vest and forget I have it on most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneton Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I have a 37-2 That is with me all the time. I shot mine in the local IDPA matches from time to time. I would have to say about 200 off clock and 500 on clock. I dont just use it for the bug stages. Its used for the whole match. lets just say some of the bottom feeders dont like it. I tell them I can get its bigger brother out and play too (610-2) with real 10mm ammo Jeremy Hardin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
