UPDATE:

One of my CCW students bought a S&W M637 5-shot .38 Special 2-inch revolver last week. The individual came to my range and fired a box of factory loads to get used to the new gun. Next week we have another range session and 3 additional factory loads to test to find which shoots to the sights at 25 yards.

The 637 is a nice, very concealable defensive handgun that fits the needs of the student. Revolvers still have their place in the 21st Century.

Just out of curiosity, what loads was he shooting? I'm not familiar with the 637.....is it rated for +P ammo? If so, I would suggest he try the Remington 158 grain Lead SWC HP in +P configuration. That's the load I carry and it's quite accurate and expands to 60+ caliber in my test medium.
