Smith & Wesson Model 17 Question

Yeah, I think the revolver shoots fine, if I do my part. To be honest, I haven't used the 1911 .22 enough to really get in tune with it. I've got too many pistols, and I only know a couple of them really well.
 
You got guts man. I saw that Smith cut and almost hit the floor. Felt like a smack in the man berries. Good job . I keep thinking about getting one . Old school Smith and Wesson I do love them, you make me think about a model 14 for the 38 Special.

You have talent crap you scared me when I saw that hack saw.
 
If the muzzle crowning is pulling the bullets off a little at least it's consistent. Or you lucked out and were attentive enough with your checking for squareness that any angle of the face and crown is minimal and has a consistent effect.
 
Went and tried it out today, not sure if the results are good. At 10 yds, using a rest (my range bag), you can see how they grouped. These groups are circled with a marker. The three groups at the filled-in squares were fired offhand. The others were contributed by the Colt conversion .22, so disregard them.
As you can see, they open up at 25 yds. Kind of haywire looking groups, but with practise, I hope I can shrink them. I believe the inconsistency is pilot error, I don't have a very steady hand.

DM, I have to shake your hand. Those groups look as good as I can get from my 17-3 with iron sights. The gun looks real pretty too. Considering your tools, you are not talented...but a genius! Outstanding job!

If you were in Vancouver, I would knock on your door, on my knees, with my revolvers.:D
