Nice toys he picked up!  

The 520 super light wt. is a beast!

I'm thinking it weights about 2.5 lbs so it wouldn't be too bad with magnum loads.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think those are really good choices.

Actually, the 520 in titanium is about 18-19 ounces.  I talked to him last night and told him to hold on tight and it's gonna HURT...

My snub is 26 ounces and it's a handfull.  I suggested he leave the magnum loads at home and but a few hundred rounds of .38's when he comes down to shoot.

Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves, we shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. 
We all get pretty pumped when another one comes to the light and joins the fold.  Can I get an AMEN??? ;D

Quick range report...

Went to the range today and Steve did really well.  He listened to my instruction, did what he was asked to do and only made a few minor safety errors that I corrected him on.  His shooting was pretty darn good for a NEWB..

The S&W 520 is an awfully nice gun.  I was quite impressed and though we didn't shoot any magnum loads today, it was really quite manageable to shoot.  I was quite impressed with it and though he was hitting a 6 inch target with no problems, I was able to put 7 rounds into a nice tight group on my first cylinder.

The little .22 model 317 was REAL light and VERY accurate for a short barrel revolver.  Putting 8 rounds into a 2-3 inch group at 10 yards was easy.

Fun was had and I made him clean his own guns, with my help... ;)

Outstanding!!!! Glad it went well.
