I took a lunch break and went to the range about 3 miles away. Carbine w/ trommel mag did not work right - can't figure out how to load it... The S&W came to mind last night because I wanted to take it out. It did great. The S&W 39 was my first pistol that fired more than a .22 and I sold it years ago. Picked up one that was made about the same time period a while back, really like it. Feeds almost anything. Will try some P38 mags in her.
