Thanks 'Flave.

All this ACP/AR talk made me drag mine out and shoot it today. I mentioned in another thread that previous owner had bent the front sight noticeably to the left. He must have been crosseyed because it printed my 230's three inches high and about six inches right at 25 yards. I took a 6" drill press vice, a substantial hammer and a mill file along for the first range trip. To correct the POI/POA divergence I padded the top of the vise and with the front sight cranked down hard in its jaws, applied hammer to vise to cold-swage the front sight vertical and increase its height a few thousandths at the same time. It's been a work in progress but I think I'm done. 230 grain flat point reload, best six at 100 yards just touching the dot with the front sight. It's obviously shooting way better than I am.
