A little belated, but now that the waiting period is over, I finally have my anniversary present. We took it to the range today, and had a lot of fun firing his’n’hers pistols at the 25 foot targets. We’re still getting used to the new firearms, so nothing to brag about – well, not yet at least.
Depicted is our pair of pistols. My new one is the black double-action S&W 908 on top. Damsel’s is the S&W 908s shown below. The guns are identical mechanically, but Damsel’s is “prettier” according to her.
My assessment of this gun is that it is a very good value for a compact double-action pistol. Even though I just fired it for the first time today, it seems to have a smooth action and a modest recoil for a 9mm. The design is simple and straight forward. Field stripping and re-assembly is a snap; cleaning it is a breeze. Oil it up, reassemble, wipe it off and it’s ready to go again.
