[QUOTE="kcollins, post: 835754, member: 3707"] Your ammo is part of the issue. 130 grain ammo has never shot to point of aim in any of my fixed sighted revolvers. Almost all fixed sighted .38's are regulated to POA with 158 grain ammo going about 850 fps give or take. Now you can ignore the difference in POA/POI and just use the sight picture everyone else has suggested and work on your groupings or you can switch loads. I would suggest reloading it if you don't already and have any interest. .38 special is very easy to load. It uses very little powder( up to 2000+ rounds per pound) and the brass lasts a long time. Reloading will allow you what you really need to shoot a DA revolver well, lots of practice. Some other factors are grips. I like grips that allow me to hold as high as possible and big enough to get a firm hold. After that it is just a matter of trigger squeeze. Dry fire is very helpful in that. With snapcaps, if your gun needs them. [/QUOTE]
