The Trials of a Redhawk

"Have your gun shop send it. It'll get sent back to them. You pick it up there at your convenience."

That's how I do it now, the last few times I've had to.

I hope it keeps shooting better and better for the OP.

I agree with you, Tallball. It's good advice to use a LGS. I'll remember it.

And hey, thanks! I had a very positive couple days with load testing and development. Confidence is much higher now.

shooting gloves may help you here.

put the center of the front sight on your target for small groups @ 25 yards; paint a thin line on the front sight if necessary.

luck,

This is what I strive for, however I often find either the center of the front sight or the center of the target to be elusive to my eye. To get them to appear at the same time can be like seeing Superman and Clark Kent together.

That's an exaggeration, but towards the end of my range sessions, I find it a lot closer to reality than not.

The sight paint seems like a great idea, but I never can get a sight painted perfectly, which I can't stand. And if I do get one painted well enough, it just comes off from holster wear anyway.

Shooting gloves is something I was looking into just last night. And that's probably worth a try.

Pretty managable now with that Pachmayr Gripper on it.

That's what I use on all my revolvers except my Dan Wesson. Yes, they are not attractive, but they shoot well. I take them off when we get home, however...

Glad you ironed out your Ruger... I've had no end of troubles with Ruger revolvers, starting with my original Single-Six in 1987, working though umpteen Ruger SA's, including a .41 Bisley that was on my Unobtanium list for a long time, and a .44 Flattop. I've just never had one that would shoot well, and it has kept me from getting a Redhawk .41 all these years. I may give it a try, again, some day... I miss that .41 Bisley.

Unfortunately, Charlie, I still had more issue. But I think I've got it worked out now. The update is up thread, the Pachmayr's are off.

seeing the little line drawn on your front sight is not important; the line is there to remind you to aim with the center of the front sight and that is what is important. just like seeing the exact center of the target is not important; the fact that you keep aiming for the exact center of the target is important.
