Real or Replica?

Hi Alvin,
Here's a suggestion you might try.

1. Clean the front and rear sights with polish remover, let dry, then get some white finger nail polish and with a tooth pick touch or mark a small dot/spot on the front sight (high point not top). And for the rear sight, mark a dot/spot on each side of the V or U groove near the top also. This will tell you when you have the top front sight even with the rear tops and it may be more visible in your aiming.

For #2,
That's the other main reason for using the left thumb to pull the hammer, as mentioned previously. This changes the action from 'double action to single action.'

Nukem, Alvin, rhuff, and anyone,
I believe I have to clarify something regarding target patterns. This is how I view my shots. And of course I could be all wet. These are just examples to illustrate and communicate the idea(s).

If I hit all of my shots in the 2" circle I call it a 2" pattern. This is because all the shots are 2" or less to the bulls-eye (B-E). I understand many would call it a 4" pattern because they measure from one side to the other or farthest equaling 4", 2+2.

If I shot a 4" pattern (2+2) 10" from the B-E, I wouldn't call it a 4" pattern or a 10" pattern. One would have to describe it as a 4" (average) group 10" from the B-E. I would then use the 10" average for adjustment, because I would be shooting way, way off. lol. So, pattern by itself is not accurately describing the precision of it all, i.e., accuracy of the weapon and level of shooting ability.

So, as I said previously in the my 'results' I used the 'hit/impact' to the B-E. And I know it is not with the consensus of the majority. I just didn't think to describe it the other way, sorry.
