I much prefer the red insert to the solid blue and have put green fibers on a couple I carry often.
On a couple of rifles I have put a white dot on the front ala Elmer Keith and also the rear underneath a V notch.
Makes a HUGE difference.
My hunting Redhawk got a gold bead that I then painted white.
It also has the V notch rear like the double rifles of old.
Old Elmer knew what he was talking about.

Looking at your neat 44, I can't help but see Skeeter Skelton patrolling the border wearing that same gun.
It's the perfect service revolver.
Thanks for the great insight. You are probably right. I will shoot it and give it some thought.
