    Got a Taurus Tracker in .45 Colt, it gave me some trouble in the beginning but repair center fixed that and it does one inch groups if I do my part...which isn't very often.

    Personaly the only way I'd shoot a group that tight with a handgun these days is to take a piece of 9mm wooden dowel down to the target with me,whilst nobodys looking & punch some holes That's bloody Good shooting

    I've got to be honest with you guys, I shot that at about 15 yards and was setting down at a bench table with a two hand hold on a perch.

    My blinkers are so poor anymore can't see too good with sights and target lined up at 25 yards. So, I shoot mostly 15 to 20 yards...setting down.

    I use byfocals to read by, so you know I'm about ready for a seeing eye dog. Maybe I could train one to bark when I've got the sights lined up ready to fire.

    Jim ! I know what your talking about ! I still shoot a respectable tally in the field .But when it comes to Hanguns Hell I can't see the target at 25yrds let alone hit the Damned thing ! Everybody else is checking how many 10's & centres they've got I'm checking to see that their all on the paper . I mean the Paper Not just the Target ! But I still love burning powder & throwing those .44 slugs down range (hey I've just worked out where I'm going wrong ! maybe if I put the powder in a case & sat the Slug on top of it & fired it out of the Gun HMMMMMMMMMMM I wonder?

    I bought a chromed Taurus 66 many years ago. It has some rough tooling marks, but shoots very well. A kind of crude copy of a S&W model 19.
