I've never done it, but always thought, why not widen the rear notch on the appropriate side, rather than thin the blade or twist the barrel to the point that it's noticeable that the blade leans  blued guns would require at minimum cold blueing the sight groove, which I might understand the reason to avoid, but a stainless gun, either satin or polished, I wouldn't see that as possibly the best way to move the POI sideways Yes that works too. Did that to a Vaquero. Dan |

Magnumwheelman and BigMuddy.... don't want to mess with your take, but to file the Peacemaker notch takes real skill. Worse, a wide notch in conjunction with a thin blade strains the eye to read the sights. I'd rather hold Kentucky than file the top strap.
Since aesthetics and sentiment are prime attractants for choosing fixed sights, were I reaching for a Peacemaker variant I'd keep the sight picture.

So when Smith and Wesson built a model 10 did they build that gun around the best shooting result of a specific load? Are there manufacturers (non-custom) that design and build their fixed sight revolvers around a specific load or do they just meet in the middle somewhere? I hope I'm making sense here.
