Shooting the Grizzly WFN hard cast out of my FA-83 4 3/4" the bullets were hitting high. I adjusted the rear sight down and promptly aimed at a 12 gauge hull that I had stood up on the ground and low and behold I nailed it on my first shot. Standing unsupported at 25 yards  Five shot group shot standing unsupported at 40 yards  Grizzly claimed velocity of 1175 FPS proved to be a bit conservative  _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | ||

I think it was a little more than just the gun and load going on there... Carry on. | |||

Great shooting. Minute-of-hot-water-heater? Great velocities for such a short barrel. Recoil is stout? "It ain't lion hunting unless you get stitches." - John in WYO "It became aquatic, briefly." Ann ~ Aspen Hill Adventures The bear has to touch you to hurt you. Don’t let the bear touch you. | |||

That really is a fine looking handgun. From your post, it looks to shoot as good as it looks too. DW | |||

John, that .45 load is stout, but not uncomfortable to shoot. I have chronographed that load out of my out-of-the-box Ruger Bisley with a 5 1/2-inch barrel, and they averaged 1,360 fps. Great load!
