I fired 50 rounds through this firearm, and, with one string of 8 shots of 230 grain FMJ's, fired a best group of 2.5" with one flyer, all in the 10X at 50 feet.....for a 1911 copy to fire that well out of the box with "range handloads"(granted this WAS the Smith and Wesson indoor range so it's their handloads)is pretty respectable IMHO.

BTW, the S&W 460 and 500 magnum handguns are just freakishly large!! I would have rented one, but it was something like 25$ for 10 shots out of that beast!!



Just curious, what basic training are headed for? I ask because getting too set in your ways will actually make it bit tougher to learn their way. Also, is thw S&W the gun you'll do basic with? it'd be best if you could practice simply for the sake of weapon familiarity. BTW, nice groups for a new gun!
