Plenty,

Level the front with the top of the rear with equal light on each side. Keep your focus on the front sight, not the target. I mean keep the focus on the front sight until the bullets leave the barrel!
I know what you're thinking. Try bullseye targets, 6" bull at 25 yards. Hold with a six o'clock sight picture, yes you can see the target but it's out of focus, rest only the wrists on sand bag, or such. Press that wonderful S&W single action trigger (cock the gun)and keep the sights aligned until the shot leaves the barrel. (that's called follow through) The problem I have with the orange insert is the definition of top of front sight but my eyes are old, you can do better.
A heavy caliber handgun should never rest on a solid surface. Recoil bounce will affect the group. You should be able to shoot 1" group at 25 yds. The three dot system is designed for more rapid acquisition but can also be very precise with the above technique.
Some do not consider the handgun to be a precise instrument. Just a lack of training and experience coming through.
The pistol. Learn it well; carry it always. John Dean Cooper.
Thanks Jeff! Good shootin'.
