New Gun Problem

I hope I'm not gonna have to fix this problem.

I bought this chick gun as I call it a couple of years ago I guess. It
is a Model 60 (I think) S&W .357 Mag. 5 shot. The other day I shot it
with another for the first time and this thing shoots 1.5' low @ maybe
200'. It has one of those like fiber optic plastic end sights and
wondering if I have to have the bottom of the big red dot above the
"rail".

66 yards out of a revolver being 5 shot which I suspect has a short barrel?

How does it do at center of pie plate at 21 feet?

If low with a load you like, file down the front sight.

At the ranges this type of firearm is useful for, keep Col Cooper in mind, Front Sight,
Press.


I've asked around here and all I get is "what ammo? and doesn't sound
good". BTW 120 g. Oh, seems to have excessive side shrapnel, I had to
stand back further than I thought when the other shot it.

That is a separate issue. If it is spitting, the revolver cylinder / barrel may not be
aligned. As mentioned, use a close fitting rod to check if barrel and cylinder are
coaxial in battery.
