After a couple preliminary shots at closer range I sent this out to 25yds and fired a couple cylinders. I was using those 185gr epoxy coated bullets from Missouri Bullet over 6.8gr of Unique, no sign of leading. I'm no pistolero, never claimed to be. I usually joke with friends that at 25yds I'm using a rifle or have other options. I don't think I'll put adjustable rear sights on this piece, it works just fine for what I intend it for. The hammer works great, I am very happy with that.
