thats not bad , she will tighten up more then that dan . keep working at it . you should be able to poke 1 ragged hole at 50 . it'll come , just give her time wink
3 weeks back i god soundly whooped on paper down at troy . while still pulled 1st out of 150 shooters over all .
off hand , on paper at 25 yards , shooting pistol targets so the X is about the size of a quarter . i scored a 49 3X out of 5 shots . only good enough for 4th on paper as the top 3 spots all had 50s . the winner had a 50 4X
but i took it back on the range with a score of 139 3X out of a possable 150, 5X . the nearest person to me who took 2nd , scored a 133 2X whistle
gotta love it .
but i must admit , my back was out and i had taken a couple pain pills . couldnt get any more relaxed . i think thats about the best i have ever shot .

she also is nose heavy as you say . not alot but just enough .
ballanced , would be if you split the diffrence between the rear sight and the forward edge of the lock mortice . right about that general area .

and again yes it can be done with a 42 inch strait barrel
