Nice revolver! It just looks like it’s a shooter…
As much as I dislike the looks of the fiber optic sights that sight picture speaks volumes.

I've watched Kim shoot at long range, I sure wouldn't want to be down range when he was behind the sights.

Fiber is not near as classy looking as a traditional front sight, but they sure are functional. I remember when fiber optics were first introduce to the bow hunting industry - game changer! I remember thinking, if I’d had these………….

I tend to lean more towards the traditional. Fist thing I noticed was the plow handle, (as opposed to a bisley,) and the Blackhawk hammer. I prefer them both in terms of aesthetics and function. Very nice pistol. I admire your classy, timeless taste.

I saw a monster about a month and a half ago at my place, but he is smart and haven't seen him since. He might be the same old brute that I have watched the last several years but is good at hiding.

What's the speed of that 230 keith & 8.5gr Unique? I’ll give an educated guess, because I don’t think I’ve clocked it, but I’d say around 1050-1100 at the muzzle. Some one else may have a better answer. If I’ve got a load that shoots good for my intended purpose, I tend to not break out all the technical equipment - only if not accurate or bullet design requires a certain velocity for proper performance.

Been talking to Bobby Tyler about an old model 357 I've got that'd about end up that guns twin!
Only real difference will be a Wells frame instead of the Powers.
That's a great looking revolver there.
