And even that could probably be improved with a little judicious stoning. And I'm thinking it's the same with a Glock.

That's fine as long as they are taught to keep their finger off the trigger until they have their sights lined up on the target. Too many cops wind up shooting themselves because they don't practise this simple technique, and that's why Joe Cominolli invented an external safety for the Glock.

If you miss with anything, it's just a loud noise and a breeze. And as an aside, "45-70 Government" is kind of redundant. Originally, the cartridge was called the 45 Government. Later it came to be called the 45-70. It's equivalent to calling Winchesters cartridge a "44-40 WCF." Originally, it was called 44WCF, (Winchester Center Fire) and later it came to be called the 44-40, it doesn't need to be called both.
Granted, a lot of people do call it the 45-70 government, and Starline even stamps their brass 45-70 GOVT, but it's really not necessary. 45-70 or 45 government -- calling it both is just excess verbiage.
Now, it's your job to correct everybody else.
