Sorry for the delay...

Picked up my Heritage Monday night, cleaned and lubed ( Not very dirty at all ).

(now it is, I'll have to clean her up.:))

Took it to the range on Tuesday, put 100 rounds of 200 Gr. round nose Rainier over 4.8 Gr. of 231.
I had zero malfunctions as the pistol was running perfect.:D
The trigger is great, tight fitting barrel bushing and fit and machining is superb.

Of course I had to let others share in my experience. fellow in the lane next to mine had a night hawk, I let him shoot mine and he let me shoot his... The Night Hawk was OK, for a $2,900 gun. Maybe I expected more???
Well, the guy next to me as well as one of the guys behind the counter loved the Heritage. They were very impressed that it was a production gun and not custom. :D

I love the pistol and think I made the right choice. Get a gun that's fun to shoot in 45ACP. I did just that. :D

The sights are a bit off. Shooting high, I'm having to set the bullseye well above the front sight. like in image.1

Getting the hang of it... 10 yards 5 shot groups.

I don't think I can complain much. I might change the sights getting a higher front Fiber optic? We'll see...

I'm going to send the pistol back to Dave Severns for some added features in the near future. :D I can't wait.....

Thanks for reading. :)

Another 50 down the pipe. :D

I went across the street to my neighbors and set up the shooting tree.

No problems with dents or dings, just splatter marks. Very cool.

Love the Heritage. :rock:

If you're shooting as in image 1,that's the six o'clock hold, which is proper for most shooters, and therefore wouldn't be high.

This. Some pistols are set up that way for a certain zero at a determined yardage, and sight picture 2 will be the zero at a longer distance..kind of like the KD range in the Corps..6 oclock at 100 yards, center mass at 300. Nice pistol

Thanks guys, I agree with you both.
I have a Browning Challenger III set up that way.
I'm just use to sight pic #2 for my 1911s.
I'll keep shooting it and make a decision latter.
