S&W 638 Airweight (.38 & +P) 1" barrel snub with shrouded hammer. Fixed front sight.
More than a few good shooters I know find that it makes consistently tight patterns about 2" right at 7 yards. Same group with single or double action, free hands or from a rest.
It's within tolerance to be lethal at self-defense gunfight distance, but the center of the bullseye would be better.
Can that 1" barrel be rotated a bit by a gunsmith? Who do you guys recommend in/near Portland?
Thanks in advance for ideas.
