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.

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.
