Since we're telling tales, I have a 1913 DWM Shooter with a similar bore as pictured. Shot at paper for the first time a few weeks ago from a sandbag rest at 15 yds using a spotting scope to adjust fire. First shot was 6" high and ~1" left. Fired 2 more rounds for grouping, but could not see them on paper. Held low and right to adjust fire. POI was in the bull, 2 more for grouping, and none visible. WTF! Walked out at cease fire to retrieve target, and saw that each hole was a ragged cloverleaf. I have a new respect for that pistol. BTW, it ran flawlessly with a MecGar mag for 50 rds. Here is a pic of it below the Hugh Clark "Baby" I'm trying to sell locally.
