Bedding procedures... top of thread says Redhawk. Had a Red Hawk in the '80's and just let go of an Alaskan 480. Bedding ? Anyone can have a bad day. Must be time for me to walk the dog or something.

considering that you know NOTHING about my shooting skills, that would be a poor assumption on your part. I improved my loading procedures and bedded my rifle and that's where it changed. You don't agree obviously. This is about handguns. You mentioned a Ruger Redhawk. That is not a rifle. Handguns are a different situation. As Bradshaw says the firing line it the true test of man and machine (gun). Again I have seen a lot on the firing line. I installed a peep sight and am sure that will help POA and POI I've been shooting too long to blame my shooting skills. An undersized bullet in an oversized barrel isn't my fault, seeing no copper in the grooves and after slugging the barrel proved it wasn't my fault. Having a target that looks like a scatter gun hit it, is proof enough. I hope that helps. Does this sound like an argument ?? could you ?

I am not looking to somehow tinker with it to make up for my inability. I have a 2.75 inch M69 Smith and a 2.5 inch GP100 that I can shoot darn well at 50 yards offhand and with the M69 at 100 yards offhand even now. Much better than many others Ive seen at the range with their much more expensive handguns and guns that people have tinkered with. That is the reason I like Bradshaws assessment on the firing line being the defining definer of Ones ability.

The firing line isn't enough, and you just admitted that... so.... how about admitting your wrong and end it. I think this behavior is Hypocritical and Flamboyant. Am I getting through to you ? Bradshaw makes assessments sometimes, like others and I do it myself at times, without all the FACTS.

Since I cant outshoot the gun I dont worry about. Worry about what you can do on the firing line. I know I do. The firing line is the true judge. Never forget that in your quest. My quest was to be good standing on my legs and shooting offhand. Still love to hear people talk a big game though. Still the supreme judge is the firing line and the targets not target.

"I've been shooting too long to blame my shooting skills."
I think the thing that has me perplexed, and maybe others, is that you're of an apparently advanced skill level with a revolver, yet you're asking questions about revolver fit and function that are rather sophomoric.
Revolvers and rifles are two different things. Skill with one does not necessitate proficiency with the other.
Here, of course, we are speaking strictly about skills with a revolver.

You can't convince me any gun that is not stabilizing a bullet can be shot accurately. Nor tangent sights with me being bifocal. This discussion is over. I had enough of the "expertise" here.

Dont go away mad because someone posed a question about the firing line and targets? Being upset is not conducive to good shooting.

When you go to a site whether it is this one or Castboolits dont expect everyone to cater to you to keep happiness flowing. People actually disagree at times. That is why I asked my first question and why I stated the firing line is the place to take assesment of oneself. I belong to a gun club and have seen the big talkers. I will say I have seen all kinds shoot. After many, many, many, many, many years observing others there are few that can shoot a handgun well. I am not talking about the elusive one target in 25, or a 100 either. I am talking consistently good shooters. Even those with the high dollar equipment are included in the many, many,many that cannot shoot well. They look good though. Ill give them that.
