After six years of firearms appreciation, I finally decided to get into revolvers. My experience had been limited to a S&W 617 and a Rossi .44 Special, and that was a one time outing. Shown is my first attempt with my dad's Colt Official Police .38 Special.
This is a 15-round string, each shot fired in single action mode, at 15 yards. The same parameters for double action resulted in the shots all over the place, but still on paper.
I was operating under the assumption that these types of .38s are supposed to be point of aim, point of impact at 25 yards with 158 gr LRN, which is what I was using. As you can see, I couldn't quite figure out the sights. The last two shots are in the black, and resulted from placing the front sight blade almost out of sight behind the rear ramp and aiming at the bottom of the bullseye.
Thoughts?
