The drill
- 1
Fire 1 shot with a perfect sight picture, front sight centered in the rear window.
- 2
Fire 1 with the front sight pushed to the right edge of the window.
- 3
Fire 1 with it pushed to the left edge.
- 4
Fire 1 with it high in the window, then 1 with it low. Keep it in the window and press well every time.
The standard
All 5 stay in the 5-inch circle. The takeaway: trigger matters more than perfect alignment up close.
Safety: Live-fire at a range with a safe backstop. Keep the muzzle downrange throughout.
