Finally got my S&W 410 .40 to the range yesterday and sent 80 rounds down range.
Couple of things quickly became evident....
1. My eyes suck and I really need to start wearing my reading glasses to shoot.
2. The ammo I was shooting, Winchester 165-gr. FMJ flat points, were all hitting about 2 inches low at 8 meters. My friend tried a couple of shots and was hitting a lot closer to point of aim.
I'm not sure if it was me or if the sights are regulated for 180-gr. bullets.
3. No failures to feed, fire, or eject. Recoil also wasn't at all bad.
All in all, a decent range trip. I think I've found my ground-level home defense gun as soon as I get some decent HP ammo and make sure that it feeds correctly.
