c.r.a. said it better than I.
At about 10 yards, shots went where I aimed them. The sights work quite well, and the short radius isn't a handicap. I had some overlapping shots, offhand. The inherent accuracy is top-notch, and contrary to what one might expect, the practical accuracy is, as well.
I've also done a little dry fire practice. It's good to get you used to the DA trigger on the light gun. You can't rely on the barrel weight to hold it down when you squeeze; it's not hard to master, it's just different from a 6" 686 and takes a little experimenting. A bit of dry fire also seems to slick it up when new.
What I wouldn't recommend is the .357 version, if you are on a budget. IMHO the extra money doesn't really buy you anything practical. While it's an impressive, accurate gun, it's a lot easier to shoot well with .38 +P.
