So, my birthday present, a Ruger Security Six 2.75" Barrel, shoots very well from what I've seen. At 15 Yards today, with Perfecta, shot about a 3.5" group. Recoil with the Perfecta 158 Grain was snappy but still light, if that makes sense. It's by no means a very good group, I feel. But it's somewhere to start. I plan to keep practicing and dry fire practicing to improve. I also have some additional questions the more experienced, if you guys don't mind.
1) Is 15 yards good for an initial sight in and practice until I am confident enough to move out to about 25 Yards?
2) My revolver shows finger prints very well and I am worried it will rust if I do not keep the surface oiled and free of fingerprints. Would wiping it off after every use, and oiling the surface maybe once a week too obsessive? Just want to preserve the condition of my gun.
3) Can you guys recommend a good way to store my handgun that will not promote rust? I would like something that locks. Something that won't break the bank either.
Thank you!
