I like that a lot, if I was to have 1 TLA, that would be it.

That is really nice, I like that one.
Im not real familiar with TLAs, so why do you want to see the top strap?

It is such a rare configuration of TLA that I have no idea what the sight gap and top groove look like.

It is sweet! This model used to be my idea of perfection. Then the eyes said no to fixed-sighted guns with narrow sight grooves and slender front sights.

Needs an octagon barrel and a dovetail front sight. Save the original barrel for posterity.
That grip frame and hot 45 Colt loads = OUCH
These cylinders are quite a bit bigger than a Ruger, not that that says anything for the strength, only that you have plenty of room for a long OAL.

I used to own that gun, but looking at my pic archive, I'm not seeing that I ever took a picture of the topstrap. There are a couple variations of topstraps with fixed sight TLAs, but the sight channel is pretty much the same between them. The rear sight notch is squared off and generous in width and the sight channel in the top of the frame is likewise generous. Here is a pic of a Border Special I used to own. The Army in the auction should be very similar.  |

Also, the current owner is a regular on the Ruger Forum. Haven't seen him over here in a while, but he is a member here, too. I am sure if you email him, he will oblige with a pic of the topstrap.
