There is nothing more confounding than not knowing the quality of your ammunition! By all means, do not waste your time and money on ammunition that you suspect may not be of good quality. Besides being frustrating, bad ammunition can be dangerous to you and your gun.

Frikkie, have you practiced dry-firing your revolver? If you are missing a target of fairly decent size at 15m, I suggest you do some dry-firing. Pay particular attention to your sights as the hammer falls. If your sights deviate from the target as you release the trigger, then your shot will deviate too. This is called "follow through." The gun must be held on target as the discharge of the cartridge occurs.

If you dry-fire your handgun at any place other than at a range, you must observe strict safety precautions. A small paper could be written about that, but the easiest way to think about safety during dry-firing is to assume that somehow - despite all your best efforts - you might have an accidental discharge some day while doing it. Whatever you are aiming at should be such that if a discharge would occur, it would not harm anyone.
