YaY!!  That means I can use the famous patented Col. Colt's disappearing rear revolver sight.
That's the hammer. :applaud :applaud

Pull the trigger and the rear sight disappears. :Doh!

It worked quite well for Hickock and Hardin...  :bl th up :toast :shake

Yeah, but they knew what the heck they were doing.
By contrast, I've kinda forgotten about all those skills.

Back to the original post, how have you made out with this fine piece, Paul?  Inquiring minds need to know....

Kees, sorry for not replying but I just saw your post now. I’ve had a long layoff from shooting so haven’t made any progress at all. I did get back to shooting the past couple days and shot  the pistol today. I can tell you it’s going to be a long learning curve. I’m going to focus on shooting just the pistol this year so hopefully will make some progress.
