Back in the day when I was using my S&W model 52-1 for the centerfire match (with iron sights) I shot these targets in the timed fire stage of an outdoor "1800" (25 yards). The key to shooting the model 52 is consistent grip and follow-through. You have to do this every shot. If you let down in any fundamental, you'll get a wider shot than expected from a 1911 or .22 auto. If you can get your level of proficiency up, it is a great gun to use for bullseye pistol matches. If you can't, it'll teach you better fundamentals, which will help your 1911 bullseye shooting.
