Or is it just mine?
Mine is a 2004 manufacture that I purchased used last spring.
It appears to have seen light use... the lockup is tight so I'd expect good accuracy.
I can't shoot 357's at the local range... so I'm going from memory... shooting 357's out in the woods shortly after purchase, the accuracy was unremarkable and the gun shot about 3" low at 30 feet.
Shooting handloaded 38 specials (mid range loads that hit near point of aim with my J-frame and Blackhawk) at the local 50 feet indoor range my SP 101 shoots about a foot low... that's a lot.
Anybody else experience this with a 3" SP 101?
Is there another solution besides to file down the front blade a little at a time?... I'd really hate to do that... or to just live with it.
Might a stout 38 special +p with a heavy bullet be the answer for practice at the range?
I bought it as a carry gun... and a couple of inches low at 20 feet certainly isn't terminal... but it's such a nice pistol... I'd shoot it more if I got better results.
