cprher: I make it easy with the red-dots; real Bullseye shooters shoot with open sights =)

.38 Sharpshooter: I think the 14-4 is the best exposed-ejector K-38 Masterpiece out there, mainly because the gas ring is on the cylinder for that one, and so it's easier to clean. I have a 19-3 which has the gas ring on the yoke, and after about 30 shots, fouling starts to really build up in the yoke barrel and makes the cylinder not rotate freely anymore.

The 14-5/6/7's heavier barrel really does make a difference--between my 19-3 and my 14-5 and -6, I can hold the 19-3 on the target for longer at 50 yards before fatigue sets in. With the 14-5 and -6 with their heavier barrels, I basically have to decide to shoot the moment I bring the gun up, and any decision to abort the shot has to come fairly soon (i.e. due to larger wobbles due to fatigue or wind or whatever). With the 19-3 (and hopefully with the 14-4) I'll have longer to decide, either way.
