Those holes don't look big enough to be .45 holes.

Anyone who wonders why a .45 cal 200 gr LSWC round is one of the all time favorites only needs to look at the group in the lower right corner.

They look fine to me. It's just a photo, and you can't really tell how big the target is. If it's a little bit big, then the .45 caliber holes will look a little small. And the round nose tend to make a smaller
looking hole than the nice clean wadcutter hole.

An IDPA target is 18 1/8" across, the center circle being 8 inches.
I do not believe that target was shot at 50 yards, even with a ransom. The front sight could cover how much of the target at 50 yards?

Looks like the target is resting against the tailgate of a pickup. Then again, if it is , the holes might be too big for a .45.

I don't think the front sight makes much of a difference when using the machine to test the groups.
One still has to aim the gun, no?

I'm not impressed. He completely missed the big X at the bottom.

Here is a set of real custom bullseye guns from Giles 45 Shop Odessa Florida. A 22LR High Standard Victor, 45ACP Colt and 38 Special Colt Kit Gun.
They all have excellent triggers, sights and are very very accurate.
