How about a little background for the ignorant masses that don't know the significance of this revolver. That being me.

This is a King Colt SAA. This was commissioned by someone who understood steel and sixgunology and most likely knew of the Grand Ol Man's teaching quite well... this gun didn't come together by accident. You can feel the history on this one.
Somewhere between 1932 and approx 1952 someone sent this 1907 (appropriate year) Colt SAA Into the DW King Gunsight Company of San Francisco (1913 to approx 1955) who Converted it to 44 Spl and added adjustable sights a new front sight and performed an action job.
My Grandfather (in law technically) thinks he got this one around the late 50's early 60's but his memory is unclear for now.
That was my first load, first round EVER from that firearm. It's no coincidence that Skeeters load made those groups.
I'm still in disbelief that I own this gun. I'm humbled by it.
