I’m my 30s and started with semi autos so I was wheel gun curious, especially given how everyone always claims they can make you a better pistol shooter and how reliable they are.

I found that if you shoot them enough they’re no more reliable than a Glock. I didn’t have many failures but they weren’t 100% either.

On the other hand, I think they really did improve my trigger control and follow through, even when I went back to shooting semis. Mastering that DA trigger was a worthwhile challenge.

Mostly carried one of these two: 642 and 66-8.



I did shoot those two in matches, but I mostly relied on my 627.



I’ll probably shoot the 627 in a couple matches per year from
here out just to continue working on that DA trigger.

But I’m back to carrying semi autos.

ETA: by far the dumbest/most fun thing I did was try to shoot steel challenge with a 5 shot 642. Having no room for error while still shooting on the clock really forces you to reanalyze the speed/accuracy balance.
