Well I shot a cylinder full of my gold dots today. Pretty impressed.
Shot out of my S&W model 649-5 at seven yards, off hand, SA and standing. First shot was the bullseye. Second and fourth were the high shots. Third was the right shot and fifth was the left shot.
They shot point of aim for me and surprisingly had a good amount of felt recoil. Not any real muzzle blast to speak of but much more recoil than any .38+p I've shot.
Still looking forward to your report. My final thoughts on them are they are still five of them loaded in my gun. I will stay on the lookout for some more of these as well, just not for the $31.99+tax that I had to pay for these.
