Pistol Rest for a S&W X-Frame

[Gulfpirate101]

Mounted my first scope to a revolver. Leupold VXIII 2.5-8x32 on a S&W Xframe 350 legend. Took it to the range on Saturday and struggled with my limited collection of sand bags and whatever trash I could find in the trashcan to shim. Still struggl;ed to get a good rest and am not completely happy with my zero at 25 yards. Any recommendations for a decent rest? I am looking at the pistolero rest from Caldwell but the reviews on amazon are mixed. TIA

If you zero from a rest then that zero is only good from a similar rest.

You're better off using bags or whatever to support your wrist and shooting like that. Then when you shoot from other benches/ in the stand/ field or whatever you just support your wrist again to remain consistent.

That’s an awfully muzzle-heavy gun to shoot from only a wrist rest.

Putting a scope on a pistol is a whole new concept of shooting a pistol.
That cross hair is going to be all over the place unless rested stable. It takes most people a long time if ever to shoot one accurately off hand.
Get the adjustable tripod type with a sand bag on top. It can be used for both rifle and pistol.
Place a sandbag under the grip if needed but note in doing this it will produce a greater felt recoil.
