Sir, you have eliminated the largest variable, the human body! You and your brother do not absorb the recoil of your guns in the EXACT same manner. Two people will never shot the same revolver to the same POI and this variance is multiplied by distance!

Yeah, I know. Every one shoots different. Can't wait for S&W to fix this problem though. Looking forward to not have to hold 1 foot below the target, lol. I would be fine if S&W shoots it/ looks at it, and says we can't fix this. And I get a new gun, that would not hurt my feelings either, lol. Then again, I would be fine to just have them fix this one to shoot nice a flat, and fix the light primer strikes.

Update on my 460 xvr 8.38". Just got off the phone with S&W. They said the gun needed a new yoke, and firing pin. They have already replaced those parts, and it is going to be sent back to me soon. Hoping this fixes the problems I was having. Keeping my fingers crossed. This is the update as of right now. Will keep you all updated when I get it back and start shooting it.

I know this thread is old, but to let you guys know what happened. So I send my gun into S&W, told them what it was doing, even included a paper target showing the bad grouping at 5 yards. I received the gun 2 weeks after I sent it in. I went to the range with it, and boom, problem solved. I do not know what they did do it/ if the replaced any thing. But I do know this, when I sent the paper target in, with the gun, and the found the problem. Anyways, my gun shoots just like my brothers now. Great grouping, can shoot .45 colts, and .460s and the grouping is awesome!! I can safely say they did fix the problem with it!! Just thought I would let you guys know. Sorry for the wicked late response.
