Had a Special day at the range.

Took four 38 Special revolvers out today. Guns were a 4" Colt Official Police from 1968, a 4" S&W Model 10-7 from around 1979, a 2" Model 64-2 from 1979, and a 4" 38/44 Heavy Duty that shipped in 1960 (likely made in 1956).
Load was a 158 lead roundnose at about 900 FPS to replicate the standard service load of the 1950s (now they load the 158 lead to 730 and try to claim the velocity hasn't been reduced over the years).
I usually shoot a little to the left with fixed sight revolvers.
The OP:
The M10:
The M64: (The shift to left is clearly seen here)
The 38/44: (Yeah, I don't know how that one got out into the 6 ring)
The results were pretty consistent and any of the revolvers would do.
