It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

It's not the gun, but the man behind it.

Very nice she did not have a chance
Sometimes it is entirely appropriate to kill a fly with a 12 pound sledgehammer!

I bet that made one nasty exit wound. It actually wasn't too bad. I was surprised. The hole was maybe the size of a 50 cent piece. I don"t think I hit much if any bone and on a 30 pound coyote there isn't a lot to them. My guess is the bullet did not expand much.

Very nice job. Any coyote with any handgun is a trophy. Esp. w/a revolver.

Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

Nice job! It's always great when the off hand shots connect... Especially true when it's the first coyote with it!

Nice job! It's always great when the off hand shots connect... Especially true when it's the first coyote with it! Yeah the trigger on the smith seems to make off hand shots easier than some of my other handguns. In single action it is light and crisp with no creep so the gun kind of surprises you when it goes off the way it should. I have less of a tendency to jerk the trigger with it and throw my shots. This is something I am still working on with my 45 colt blackhawk. The trigger in it is not bad necessarily but I feel much less confident in it than the 500 Smith or the Desert Eagle.
