I took the Police Positve Target revolver to the range today. It is a real shooter! The sights are right on both for elevation and windage and, as I suspected, the grip provides a natural angle for easy target acquisition. The first 6 shots at 50 ft. were all inside the 10 ring except for one that cut the ring. One thing that I have noticed about both this one and the Officer's Model Target in .22lr is that the chambers are "tight", requiring a sturdy push with the thumb to seat the unfired rounds. Once fired, the empty hulls eject easily. I don't know if the cartridge chambers are cut tight for accuracy or if there has been a slight change in cartridge dimensions over the years. Both have recessed chambers that support the cartridge heads, something that Colt started doing once the "high velocity" .22long rifle rounds became available.
