My primary carry is an Airweight 637-2 lightened up to 12.5oz with a titanium cylinder reamed for 9x19. Carry ammo is 147gr jhp. Recoil is brisk and about halfway between .38Sp+P and .357Mag. A little bit painful to the thumb, but not enough to cause flinching.
I don't shoot it nearly often enough, so stopped and ran 5 rounds through it today (I only had 10 with me). 30 feet, one handed, windy conditions. I didn't do too well. Horizontal scatter was four rounds at 3/4 inch with one thrown 1.5 inches to right.
Vertical scatter was three rounds at 1.5 inches with two thrown 3.5 inches high.
I'm fairly content with the horizontal scatter, but those two rounds that were thrown 3.5 inches high bug me. Two of these shots would have missed a coke can at 30 feet. What do you guys think I may have been doing to cause those vertical throws?
BTW, my backup is a Kimber Micro 9 also with the 147gr jhp.
