Trying too hard?

[Ed C.]

I took my Remington to the range with high expectations. Concentrated on stance, sight picture, grip, and trigger pull and the first cylinder landed every shot all over outside the circle. Not fun. Disappointed, I decided to just throw lead, pull back the hammer, point and shoot as quick as I could acquire the target and not worry where the bullets were going. That worked. Go figure.

People take way too much time in sighting a handgun. You get the wobbles, and run out of oxygen holding your breath for over 3 or 4 seconds. If you do t get your shot off in 3 seconds, lower the gun , breathe, and sight again. Trust first aim!

Took "Beauty and the Beast" for a "shakedown" run with the new "Screwless Frame" pins and new 11° forcing cone!!
This was 5 shots @ 10 yards off hand.

The circled one is from a Dragoon . . .

What was your powder load?
You Point and shoot. You do not screw sound aiming at the target.

Well, "B&B" is an 1860 Army (Uberti) that is converted to 45acp ( the very 1st one) to allow "uper end" testing of the open-top platform. The load was Hornady Critical Duty 45acp+p.
