So...I took this gun out to the range yesterday. Mind you, this is the first time I've *ever* fired a handgun, and the first time I've fired anything other than paintballs in over 30 years. I scored a 51 on my first six, at 25 yards using a timed competition target. Not earth-shaking, but hey, I was just pleased that I hit the paper all six times!
I was pretty surprised at the mildness of the recoil...of course, I was shooting .38 rounds, so that helped. Next trip will use the .357. I still don't think I want to use it as a hunting backup, since I just like the idea of a shorter barrel, but it was an enjoyable shooting experience.
BTW: I called S&W's historian again...this is a Pre-28. The rangemaster offered me $50 (jokingly) for it yesterday. Here's a pic:
