I wanted to see where the points of impact would be with the 1911 vs. the SAA shooting “instinct” or sightless so I shot last night during the hours of darkness. Could not see the sights and could barely see the target. No bullseye, just a large piece of cardboard.
The 2 very different guns put the rounds at virtually the same place, low and left. Uploading pics for posting on this forum rotates the images for some reason. The actual point of impacts are about 6” left and 3” low. The cardboard was posted at a distance of 21 feet (7 yards) from me.
The 1911 load was 452374 (230 gr.) over 6 gr. of Unique. The SAA was a blued 7 1/2” .45 with 454190 (250 gr.) over 8.5 gr. of Unique.
