All three of my scoped 44's will do 6 shots in sub 4" at 100 yds one will do sub 3" the 45 is sub 3" too. That is with the 2X my guess is if I bumped the scope that might get a little better but I like the compact simple design of the 2X--The idea of sight picture is a must-- that is part of what I love about the scope--there is not near as much to line up--the other point is you can use the deltas in the crosshairs for range points.-- I understand that this is taking things to the edge--but I am thankful for the feedback
