Okay guys the Gun in question is a S&W M&P compact model (the one that holds 15 rounds). I don't have any lead bullets to slug the barrel with. Loaded up 20 rounds to try using 4.2 grs Bullseye.

Pietro,thank you for your advice. I use mostly fiber optics these days due to oes (old eyes syndrome) ,it's either that or the front sight is a blur. I intend to use the Brownell's calculator to...
