I wish I was a better marksman.

I just don't shoot very well. Especially handguns. I never was much good and I have gotten really bad as I got old. Eyesight not what it was and I developed a little of that old man tremor in my hands after my heart surgery. Took my new Colt Scout to the range on Tuesday and at 25 feet resting my arms I was shooting 8' groups. Truly pathetic.
The list of things I don't do well is definitely longer than the list of things I'm good at.

Nope - no need. I was just commenting on Doc's shooting 8 FOOT groups at 25 yards. Hopefully he meant 8 INCH
You think his groups will get better at over 3 times the distance???????
Simple math says the groups would be at least 30" across, most likely much more.
At 25 feet, he has something very wrong with the site picture. Or a bad flinch.
My wife is the same way. I spent enough time to get where I can typically stay within a 6" circle at 50 feet. Took quite a bit of time, but it seems to be fairly dependable.
She waltzes in and in a tenth of the time is consistently equal or better.
Some people have a talent for such things, I guess.

Anyway, the offer is extended to you, also, doc.
Perhaps larger sights are in order? Holographic perhaps? I do realize they don't look quite right on certain arms. Perhaps the solution is merely to switch which arms you're using.
I don't shoot as well as I used to, which was never very impressive anyway, but I still greatly enjoy my time at the range. Hope you still can too.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I can shoot a single action army revolver as well as or better than something with "good" sights.
Which is to say that I look like a champ shooting the saa and like a chump shooting a python.
These are prescription safety glasses and I must say- money very well spent.
Cheers.

That just is wrong.

Those are dangerous. You don't know what you are getting till it's too late.
