I completely agree with what you wrote - you know me too well. :-) My club does hold "bullseye matches", but at 15 and 25 yards, and anyone can use one hand or both. Sort of a "low key" match, for enjoyment I do well, but only shoot 22 (two handed). My next visit to the range will be...

What I have learned to do - pick up gun with left hand, and push into right hand where it fits best. I don't understand what you meant for my left hand - I wrap it around the gun as described in the video by Chris, covering up all the open space, and keeping it as high as possible. I don't pay...

Dryfire - yes, that is the single most important thing to improve at the range, meaning I do it almost every day, using a schedule I created, and using an app on my phone so it all gets done completely - usually between one and two hours every night, usually while watching a movie or something...

Gee..... No, I'm right-eye dominant, and I'm 79, and I'm not moving about, and the target is fixed in place 15, 25, or 50 yards away. When possible, I use a red dot sight, with second choice being adjustable open sights (suitable for bullseye shooting). I wasn't clear enough when I posted...

Maybe I wasn't clear about my request. I was only referring to target shooting, and the question was only about precision. I've read all those articles, and done a lot of testing at the range, and I have found what works best for me. To try to shoot like Chris suggests, I have to cock my head...

I have always thought the most accurate way to shoot two handed was to face the target, with the gun in front of me, arms converging from right and left, and allowing my arms to absorb the recoil. I have watched Chris Sajnog's videos for years, and just viewed this one: Proper Pistol Grip -...

Hello there, long time no see!!! Good to know you're still around. I remember how talented you were at shooting, and how good you were at answering questions and making others (me) feel more confident. Yes, a long, long time ago I followed these instructions: I was able to clean my Model...

Let's see.... I have a trigger pull gauge, but in single-action, the only way I shoot targets there isn't much difference. Both are effortless. I don't shoot 357, only 38, and for a long time I shot the same 38 special wadcutters I loaded for my Model 52. I need to get back to doing that...

I've been thinking of this quite a bit lately, and I doubt I'm going to buy another revolver - I've already got a Model 17 (22) and the Model 14 (38), and I think that's more than enough. I also think I will take your advice, and take my Model 28 to my local gunsmith to have him polish the...

Same problem - I'm about to turn 79.......

For Bullseye Shooting: If you are right eyed, and that eye is now set for distance, you are all set for a red dot sight, as both the dot and the target will be sharp. For open sights, you need to focus on the front sight, not the target. You can measure the distance between your eye and the...

About the above photo - don't laugh at me too hard - it served its purpose several times, along with me using it to keep in shape when I travel.

I will try. It's made from an empty phone case, a plastic ruler, grips for 1911, lots of black tape to hold it together, and for a rear sight, and a toothpick for a front sight. Make sure the front sight is the right distance as used on your gun, tape a business card to the end, where the...

The choice is "convenience" vs. "precision". While multi-focal lenses allow you to see things reasonably well at more than one difference, as a photographer, or shooter, I want the very best vision at one distance. This means wearing glasses, and multiple sets of glasses. Shooters need safety...

Aha! That's why I probably never met you yet - I try to get there early in the morning, between 9:30 and 10:30, and leave before southbound traffic really builds up in the late afternoon - not to mention the temperature building up! I'm very busy for the next two months, and will resume...

A lot to think about, then respond - right now I only have a few minutes. But, amazingly, if you are referring to Hollywood Rifle and Pistol Club, that is my range too... I'm usually there three or four times a week! We probably already know each other!

Three things you've got me thinking about. 1 - I never knew about the Colt Officers Model Match. Is it "equal" to the S&W Model 14? 2 - Yes, similar platform - after a lot of reading, I bought a Nelson Conversion kit. Excellent, zero problems, accurate. Perfect. 3 - I grudgingly agree about...

I've already called my gunsmith, and he will do what's needed. I never asked about the cost - he has always been very reasonable. Until I read the above responses, I hadn't made any plans, but yeah, for a "Highway Patrolman" the priorities are different than for a precision shooter. Just for...

I was not aware of any of that. Thank you for the update. I don't really need to shoot double-action for targets, so I can ignore that part of what you wrote, and you're right - I thought the difference between the 27 and 28 was just the "finish". So, with a spring kit, and a trigger job...

"Millennial anti-theft device"!!! I guess that's true, and getting more so year by year. The no-gooders won't know what to do with that third pedal. Until I started developing occasional gout years ago, all my cars were manual. I've been thinking over what you wrote - I thought the longer...
