Good stuff, sharps4590. Couldn't agree more, however the 1911, in my experience, did not take much practice to hit centre instinctively.
With a S&W DA, it's very easy. In the corrections course of fire, we started at 5 yards, draw, tuck the revolver tight against the hip, looking only at the centre "spot" on the B27 target and firing 6 fast shots, double action. It did not take long before all of the "squad" were able to keep them all in the 10 ring.
Rocking slightly backwards, away from the 'antagonist' brought the muzzle right up into the centre.
Fun stuff.
As to shooting tight groups, only a stock revolver is capable of shooting into an inch & 1/2 at 50yards from a rest. I was able to do that with my 1911, but only after replacing the barrel with a Wislon match-grade barrel, porting the barrel and slide, bushing testing along with changing links and some stone work on the locking lugs.
A stock M29 .44 Mag. S&W can do that, right out of the box and print 5 to 6" groups at 100 meters, as well.
