New Gun Problem

wrote: 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". The book and box are deep in storage. Am I gonna have to send this thing back to the factory? The S&W site I tryed e-mailing before I bought it was no help. How, do I go about fixing this problem. I'm thinking it is just us, but I know how to shoot a gun and it is 1.5 feet low. 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. I don't know what to do. Write snail mail to S&W, or call those bone heads where I bought it. The latter might be fun. I have a SIG P226 that shoots way low. I bought it used, refurbished, LE exchange. Upon inspection, I see that the rear sight is a #7 while the front sight is a #8. Hm! Some if not many shooters have issues with recoil control. I know, the P226 is a 9mmp with negligable recoil, nonetheless... To your sit, depends on bullet and load but 18" of drop at 200' is a lot for .357 with m.v. typical of a .357 with 120 gn bullet if it's zeroed at 25 yd (75 ft). If ya can't specify m.v., nobody can he'p ya much. Aim high. |
