And that's why I generally shoot .44 Special ammo in my S&W Model
28 -- too much recoil and just under a buck a shot for the magnum
stuff.
OM content: Years ago, back in the '60s, I got some good shots
with an Asahi Pentax and a Heiland potato-masher flash of bullets
a few inches out of a gun barrel going through Coke bottles,
balloons, thin air, etc. Now that I have lots of free time, guns,
OM's and lots of flash gear, I think I'll try that again. It's
killing two birds with one stone: I get to shoot two ways at one
time!
