This was my second range trip of the year. I took my new Walther P1 and old Taurus 608 with me. Both guns have 8 rounds capacity. But .357 magnum is way more powerful than 9mm. On the other hand, Walther P1 is light and small so it's a bit easier to handle. I enjoyed shooting both.

Targets were 15 meters away. I've shot 100 rounds 9mm 115 through the Walther P1. There's one FTE (fail to extract). It might have nothing to do with the gun. I might have accidentally relaxed my wrist when I fired that shot. One small problem with this gun is the direction of the case ejection. the spent cases ejected upward, not to the left or right. There was a hot case fell on my left eye and got stuck right between my left eye lid and my glasses. It was HOT! Next time when I shoot this gun, I need to wear a hat!

I always wanted a 8 shot revolver. The extra one or two shots is good; it can be a nasty surprise to a shot counting opponent. For quite a while, I was interested in a few 8 shot models from Smith and Wesson, such as 327 TRR8 PERFORMANCE CENTER. But their prices are way too expensive for me.

Then I saw there were two Taurus 608 for sale. It costs only about half of the price. I still couldn't decide right away if I should get it. I waited and waited, but couldn't resist the urge to check the dealer's site daily. A month has passed. Then one day, One of the Taurus 608 was gone. That's enough for me to take the decisive action. I submitted my order on the same day.

It's not a bad decision. I really enjoyed it. It shoots both .38 special and .357 magnum. Shooting .38 from this gun is like shooting .22, low noise, almost no recoil. I like to shoot .357 though. Every time I shoot .357, A big fire ball shoots out of the narrow opening between the barrel and the cylinder; another big fire ball comes out of the muzzle.
