With my 686 4" barrel I have no problem at 25 yards and being max of 4" from the center of target and better with my longer barrels. I understand what and why you said what you wrote. What else would you suggest?
If you're an experienced shooter, including with with pistols (since the cycling slide gives a different "feel" than when shooting a revolver), then I'd consider calling S&W to ask about having a shorter front sight post installed to raise the POI (as novalty related). They make a number of different height front posts for the 3rd gen .45's.
