When we took the trip to the range a while back to slaughter the watermelons we did some other shooting as well. Below are shots of the targets we tried at 5 yards. All shots in photos were double action and aimed at dead center of target.
The 586-7 seems to consistently shoot low at this short distance but it groups very nice. At longer distances it's right on target.
The Model 16 no dash is about as sweet as sweet gets. Not much more I can say about it than that.
