When you get one of those large-block rear sights on the gun, the front sight needs to reach for the stratosphere. The front sight profiles on our guns are different, but otherwise...
To honor the original purpose of the thread, I'm hoping to connect with a King Super Target at some point. I have a few guns with King reflector sights, or other maker bead sights and King white-outline round bottom rear sight leaves, but haven't yet managed to find the Holy Grail of King sights. |
Hello David
This Gun came from a Dear friend, Through a work Barter deal. He shared with me that it was owned by a Fighter Pilot of the Canadian Royal Navy and that it flew missions with him during World War I. He had it converted to .45 Colt as he felt the .455 Cartridge was Anemic. I too Long to have a King conversion revolver and would have scored one at the 2009 Annual S&WCA meeting in Troy, Michigan as I had an eye on the same exact one that Don Warner grabbed and has shown in this thread, but elected to buy my 1935 Registered Magnum Instead.. I Have Not seen one since, but am alway's looking for one to add...
