What kind of grips do you use? I went for looks with my first j-frame grip purchased and got a beautiful set of black ebony secret service wood grips and they shot just as you described - baseball bat to the bbl. The uncle mike's were better, but the best have been hogue j-frame bantams. I could literaly shoot all day with them no worries.
