Fixed sight guns and point of impact?

[Corbi]

So you all with fixed sight guns. How is the point of impact compared to point of aim?

I'm curious about the SP101's.

Distances fired, types of ammo used, & the shooter all affect the "point of aim, point of impact."

My SP-101 and most others shoots to POA with 158gr magnum loads pretty well. Unfortunately I usually shoot something a little milder and so it shoots a little low but I have learned to compensate by raising the front sight a little. I think for the type of shooting the gun was designed for (self defense) the sights are close enough.

My 38 SP shoots a little high with 158 lead target type but nearly dead on with 125+P JHP. Well satisfied with this.

With my SP-101 3-1/16" .357 I usually shoot 125 gr .38 Spl+P JHP at ten yards at an indoor range. When I do my part it is dead on. With .357's I usually shoot 158 gr JSP at greater distances and things are different, depending on range and conditions.

Well, to piggy back on the op, what does Ruger recommend for the SP to shoot POA/POI? In .38 or .357 that is.

My SP101 is spot on horizontally but shoots low with most loads. I just run 180gr .357s and they hit POA/POI.
