In related news, I finally took the Ruger .45 Colt to the range (along with the Smith 442 and Springfield .45 ACP). I am considerably more accurate with the ACP. I wore foam ear plugs AND very expensive Harbor Freight over-the-ear muffs. I followed the Range Master's instructions to the letter.

Of the three handguns, the Smith 442 (hammerless .38 SNS) is the nastiest to shoot. Obnoxious and not a precision tool, but an overall favorite for its purpose. The sweetest handgun is the .45 single action. Just a total joy to shoot.

I ran a couple of boxes through both the SA and the ACP. Again, I was putting the ACP projectiles through about a 3" hole in the target at about ten yards. I could see daylight aside the front sight between the very square black rear sight vertical blocks. The Ruger is a different animal. Silver sights.....huh? Perhaps I should take a Magic Marker to them.

It's not the equipment. It's the operator. I just need to spend more time with this sweet piece. My shots were spread to the left and down. After first verifying that Professor Higgins' words are true. 200 Grain bullets shoot low (seriously...about 3") below 250 grain projectiles.

As an aside, I need to listen more carefully. To both Mr. Higgins and also to Mr. Walker. I am finding that when I fail to listen carefully to their teachings, I struggle. Until I listen.
