You guys are tougher or more adventurous than I.
My only baseball bat to the hand experience was five rounds rapid fire of 158 gr. .357 Federal Hydra-Shok factory ammo from a 3" Ruger SP101, which is considerably heavier than the Smiths under discussion. It convinced me to not even try anything smaller - that was 25 years ago and the memory still keeps me from buying one of those 3" steel Model 60's in .357.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
