    Guess I will never work for Field and Stream

    I tested this gun all wrong. No rest not at 10 yards. Also said many bad words when the shot at 11 o'clock hit. It was all on me no one else around to blame.

    Send me the cylinder and the hammer, then compare the before and after..

    That gun is too pretty to not shoot as good as it looks!
    Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?

    It has had an action job, cylinder gap set to minimum, and cylinder mouths checked. The size of the group is on me.

    Yeah, you got it all screwed up. I bet you didn't burn up an RV full of ammo over a week, either, at such extended ranges as 15 yards.

    That's pretty good at 25 yards offhand.
    Those wandering shots exist in my revolver, too; Thanks to me and my twitchiness.

    Reduce the height of the hammer pad, it takes the creep out of the trigger.

    I cannot shoot like that any more. I might get one group that looks good but the others are the "new normal"

    Nice shooting.

    I worked with a guy who could shoot a 1" group at 12 yards with any pistol you handed him. He shot them all through a 1" I.D. pipe.

    they say don't try a shot when hunting any further away than you can keep'em on a paper plate when practicing. Guess you're ok at 25 yds!
