Smaug,
I had problems with both the magnification wobbles AND the critical eye alignment on 4X handgun scopes. Switching to the 2X EER Leupold worked for me. Gives me a good sight picture, lets me see the target sharply, and are MUCH easier to align the eye/pick up the target in scope. I successfully hunted deer and wild hogs for several years with my scoped .44 Mag handguns. Try the 2X if you can locate one. Hope you find the right combo that works for you.
