I believe the rifling created a spriling effect as the projectile left the barrel. After five test shots at varing distances with the pistol firmly secured in a wood block mount, I couldn't believe that I was missing the target with some of the rounds. As I cranked the target closer at 5 foot intervals I discovered that the pattern was always circular...and the circle got smaller the closer the target... I was just being faceitious about the seven yards...just echoed your comment. The actual distance (and I'm trying to remember) was about 10 or 15 yards to get a fair pattern around the bulls-eye. Heck that was thirty plus years ago! Ref:”What was the problem with it?”

Accuracy of the sights or not enough propellant to get the projectile to the target? I like that new Ruger .380 - I bet it wouldn't have problems like that. What was the problem with it?
