Markcuda,
Shooting at 50 yards with a 2 1/2 inch L Frame or K Frame is no big deal. In the CI School at the Treasury Academy (Fleatic aka FLETC) in 1979 we shot 2 1/2 inch 19s on a NRA 1500 course. Intresting as I thought I was a pretty good shot. I ended up second on qual day, a female IRS Investigator from Dallas beat me and everybody else. She shot a 298 and I shot a 297, but I had more Xs. She had red hair and I was scared of her.
