With a fixed sighted 7-1/2-inch single action in .357 what scares me is POI vs POA and having to rotate barrels or bend sights. My first Uberti peacemaker in 45 Colt shot to the left about 3 or 4 inches. So I bent the front sight with pliers,(should have rotated the barrel) and it looked like a banana, but the gun shot very well. Fast forward a hundred rounds or so and the gun was now shooting to the right and I had to bend the sight back and broke it off. So now I had to solder a sight back in place almost straight up where Uberti originally had it.

If I ever buy another fixed sight peacemaker, I'll shoot the dickens out of it to let it settle down before messing with the sights.

357 velocities from factory ammo are all over the place. Hopefully the new Ruger will shoot low for elevation and dead on for windage.
