Heritage Arms Blows.

Recently got a 4.75" barrel, steel framed, fixed sight SA .22LR/.22 Mag combo from Heritage Arms for use as a snake gun/trail gun and found that despite it's fairly long barrel, it shoots WAY left to point-of-aim, though holds a good group. I'm talking 3" off at SIX FEET, rested! For an inherently accurate round like the .22LR, fired from such a long barrel (for a handgun)..this is pretty ridiculous.

I'm as good a "Kentucky windager" as the next guy, but this is derringer accuracy. Actually, my American Derringer .38 is more accurate, and it's barrel (the rifling) is like an inch long! The Heritage Arms gun has distinctly old-school sights, a top-strap groove to serve as a rear sight and a front blade. Looking at their website (URL=http://www.heritagemfg.com/faq.shtml), I see that they recommend bending the front sight to chage the impact point. So, although this is rather crude I write them a very polite note asking how they would recommend doing this without breaking the sight. I certainly don't expect a revolver with period sights like this to be extremely accurate, but come on....I could throw a stone and hit closer to center mass. No response from them whatsoever.

Yeah, it's a cheap gun (200 bucks), but I couldn't see buying a Ruger Single Six to get beat to hell in the woods or a tackle box, for delivering the coup-de-grace to a deer, squirrel, or shark. The thing is actually pretty well made for the price, but I would definately suggest that one either get an adjustible sight model, learn to love .22 snakeshot, or avoid this company altogether. Their customer service blows, and I'm about convinced that the "contact us" tool at the website goes nowhere.

I eventually 'built up' the left side of the front sight blade, causing me to "hold right" and have to use less Kentucky Windage, but it was still pretty unacceptible. The built-up part eventually fell off so I just bent the sight blade to the left with a set of channel-locks. This made it a little better, but not much, and of course the gun looks retarded now.

A search of other owners have also produced evidence of the company's horrible accuracy and non-existent customer service. It's rather funny that they include a company-fired .22 LR case with the gun..must be proof only that the thing didn't blow up when they shot it, not a testament to that it shot anywhere near point of aim.

Just a warning....

Using ALL FOUR gospels, write down the sequence of events from the crucifixion to the resurrection. But--and here's the challenge--you MUSN'T LEAVE ANYTHING OUT!

There is no way to do it, because the contradictions are so numerous.
