27 yards? That's excellent. Your eyes are obviously much better than mine. I can shoot a fair group at 27 (25) yards but that's just me trying to center the sights on the center of the blur consistently.
What did I get for my 40th anniversary? A Colt.

As I get older, I have more trouble with open sights. If I wear my glasses, I can see the target, but the sights are blurry. If I don't wear them, I can see the sights, but the target is blurry.
I recently bought a Canik SFx Rival S and put a Holosun 507comp red dot on it. I can see that. I didn't know much about Canik, but I now think it's one of the nicest 9mm in it's price range.

There’s no way I could shoot iron sights with glasses. I have contacts from a good optometrist.
I shoot a red dot a little better. But a good old scope is still the beat em all best. And I need sand bags, Mike’s trigger, Bill’s rear sight, good light, stars in proper alignment, lots of luck.
There’s a member on here that recently got a Ransom rest. I hope he clamps one of these new Colts down and shows us what they can really do.

The Colt Python is now the best new production revolver you could have bought - IMHO of course! What a great wife!

I really like the looks of the new Colt Viper. The only Colt that I currently own is a 1964 Colt Trooper. I had just about convinced myself to get a Viper but I wound up with a Ruger Speed Six instead.

Otis, get your Viper. That Ruger won’t be jealous if you have both. Go!
Just in case you think those Super Model Five Inch Pythons are high maintenance, I would beg to differ.
I’ve been wanting to try a cast bullet in my 357 since cast works so well in the Anacondas.
These bullets don’t like to go fast. When I backed down the powder charge, success.
The gun is currently zeroed for 140 FLX going 1350. But I think the cast will group right with my 158 XTP at 1275fps when I re-zero. *Shout out to the Wilson rear sight.*The Colt sight is ok. I still have a couple. The Wilson sight is simply more positive, it stays put, and the clicks make small adjustments automatic/ predictable. The juice is worth the squeeze.

Are those Vance's bullets?

Vance’s?
I’ll ask the guys at the gunshop next time I’m in there to buy more. It appears to me that the gunshop repackaged them. Not for sure tho.
I ran 5 of those cast loads thru my new Marlin 1894, 357. They were running just over 1200 fps. They grouped around an inch and a half at 30 yards.

I bought a model 28 from a retired okc fireman on his 40th anniversary that happened to be my 40th birthday. Still have it. Congratulations on the snake gun!!!!
