Back in the day when we could actually shoot these fine hand guns I had a S&W .38 special. It was a lovely gun, smooth action and very little could change my POA, didn't matter how I held it, where I aimed the round would just home in. We once had a competition and I was doing really well, then came a log shoot with a 1911a1. All you had to do was knock a log off a platform at about 20 yards. I kept missing and I could see my lead slipping away. I got frustrated and annoyed and just pointed and pulled the trigger. Low and behold, the last 3 shots knocked down the logs. I learnt not to aim a 1911 after that.
