Sounds like your treating the s&w like a target pistol, (big mistake) its a fun gun treat it like one, point at target, keep pulling trigger untill magazine/cylinder is empty, walk away with big grin!! ( pumping the trigger as fast as I can results in groupings of about 8" At 10m (I can just keep all shots on a 10m pistol target card)) in single shot, taking my time I can get all 10 shots in the black of a 10m pistol target (last night I got a 47 out of 50 with my fwb c10)
