Yes, it was me...
I was having a hard time picking up the front sight when shooting "fast" even with different colors of paint. So I was looking at getting it milled and a gold bead or tritium front sight installed but then I saw someone online had cut the ramp out and said it helped with picking it up. Sounded like it might work and most newer gun have front sights with a flat face so I gave it a try. Figured if it didn't help I could still send it off.
I used a hack saw and files finished with finer and finer grit sand paper. Worked slowly and took my time. I like it and it does help on picking up the front sight.
I don't plan on selling the gun as for me K snubs carry and shoot so well and it's a -6 with MIM parts so it ain't a collectors piece. I didn't have a problem with my model 10 snub so I think it's the stainless on stainless that makes the difference.

Coming soon!!
I will probably do a new thread when I take the pictures.
I might break it down to groups, 64's, 60's, and others...
I will need a larger back round now...

I don't think the .38 Specials ever came with recessed cylinders. Magnum calibers only, other than the .22 LR.
Nice gun!

Might as well add mine since this has resurfaced.
Normally I'm not a real fan of stainless guns. I had to make an exception for this one.
It's a -3. I don't think it had ever been fired when I got it. I couldn't find a bit of powder burn anywhere on it.
But that didn't matter really, I think it was the grips that swung it.
