Pics
Here are some cell phone pics. This is a first for me on the forum, so please be patient.
The front sight is .420" tall and .145" wide. There is not a lot of daylight between it and the rear notch so I might have to thin it down just a bit. Also, note the ball lock on the crane. This is necessary since the short barrel negates the lockup at the front of the rod.
I did some work with it yesterday at 50 yards and it is an accurate and consistent performer, especially with heavy jacketed bullets. The only bullet it does not like are my own cast 255 gr. SWC from the RCBS mold. Almost half keyhole on target, which is odd. My 3" and 4" 625s shoot them extremely well.
All said and done, I'm very happy with it. The angle of that front sight is very steep and a half moon configuration would be better. However, the sight would have to run right up against the front of the frame, making it an expensive proposition that would have to be machined from bar stock.
