They are great pistols! I've played with mine, 500+/- rounds and have no gripes. As for your POI vs POA....try hitting the 75 or 100m target. I spent a full box playing at long distance and found that elevating the pistol 6' caused the round to hit the target which gave me some good insight into how the round archs in flight and bullet drop. I did this for too reasons, one already mentioned, the other because I elk hunt with a 45/70 lever action.

Most IMPORTANTLY....make sure your range is safe for elevating the pistol to 6'. We, as a community, have had enough bad press as of late

I probablly won't shoot this pistol at distances over 25 yards. A short barrel really isn't designed for it and I doubt I'd have much accuracy anyway. For longer distance shooting, I prefer my other Dan Wessons, the revolvers. My 7445 Supermag with 10 VH barrel and 2-6X scope is great at 100 yards.

Nice report! But
