I was looking at Rimrock's .32 cal selection and as awesome as they are they provide thorough dimensions... Im loading for my Colt Police Positive Special and .32 WCF's case neck's only 3/8" and a few bullets I'd be curious to try, including the full profile WC's length to the crimp grove exceed...
I believe they did in the pre-model # era. They don't with modern stuff, they just don't care lol.
They're able to make them properly regulated, like my model 13. Probably stricter standards with LE contracts.
But they are more snag resistant and more durable than adjustable sights. I guess...
I just can't believe they made it like that. Obviously no consideration was paid in development. All the 1905 HE's I've had with unmodified 1/2 moons shot low, but that seemed intentional so users could tailor fit. My 3" 36-1 shoots a little low but reasonable. My 4" 13-1 is dead freaking nuts...
