<a href=" ">link</a> <a href=" ">link</a> (HOPEFULLY) AVOVE ARE PICTURES OF THE BEAST's MUZZLE WITH A 4 INCH 45 COLT ANACONDA BARREL ON TOP. THE BEAST's BARREL AND UNDERLUG ARE BOTH BIGGER AROUND THAN ON THE ANACONDA BARREL. WENT TO MY RANGE ON THE RIO GRANDE THIS MORNING TO SHOOT 3 REVOLVERS INCLUDING THE BEAST. SET UP A NEW 9.75 INCH GONG ON A CHAIN SET UP AT 50 YARDS AND SHOT 25 ROUNDS WITH THE 325gr WFN OVER 24.7grs OF 296. I AM STILL DIALING IN THE ROUGH COUNTRY RS AND FEEL OK WITH THE ELEVATION, BUT THINK THE WINDAGE MAY NEED TO BE TWEAKED. I NEED TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THE WHITE LINE FS, MY FIRST TIME SHOOTING WITH SUCH A SET UP. DEFINITELY QUICKER TO PICK UP BUT NOT SURE IT AS PRECISE AN AIMING SIGHT AS THE UNDERCUT BLACK PATRIDGE ON MY LINEBAUGH 45 COLT REDHAWK.

The rib is heavier as well, it looks more reminiscent of a reconfigured S&W L frame style.

WENT TO MY RANGE ON THE RIO GRANDE THIS MORNING, YUKEY WEATHER, 90 DEGREES, 60% HUMIDITY, BRIGHT AND A 15mph WIND. SHOT THE 24.7grs OF 296/325 WFN IN A 6" ANACONDA THAT JRH FITTED A TIGHT CHAMBERED CYLINDER TO (A 44 MAG REBORED TO 45 COLT), IN A 5 SHOT 5.5" NIMROD STYLE RUGER BISLEY BY BRAD SHERMAN AND IN THE BEAST, AND THE BEAST HAD THE LEAST FELT RECOIL.
THE MORE I SHOOT THE BEAST THE MORE I BELIEVE THAT THE WHITE POST FRONT, WHILE MAYBE GREAT FOR QUICK SIGHT ACQUISITION IN SHORT DISTANCE DEFENSIVE SITUATIONS, IS LACKING AS A PRECISE AIMING SIGHT AT 50 YARDS. I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO HEAR FROM OTHERS RE THIS ISSUES. I AM GOING TO CHECK WITH BOWEN ABOUT AN ALL BLACK FS.

Rey, simply try taking a fine black sharpie and color the white in, to see if it works better for you. If it does then look for a replacement.

TRAPR: AFTER THE SHARPIE TREATMENT WILL THE SIGHT CLEAN BACK UP TO WHITE?

TRAPR: AFTER THE SHARPIE TREATMENT WILL THE SIGHT CLEAN BACK UP TO WHITE? Were I worried about it, and I would be, I'd simply take a stitch of masking tape and Sharpie it, or a carefully scissored piece of electrical tape and make do. Thanks to my father's love for target shooting I also have a bunch of black target pasters, which might also work.

Alcohol on a qtip should take it off no problem.

Putting some black shoe polish, the old kiwi paste should work as well then an old toothbrush should clean it off with soap and hot water. The tape sounds good as well. A black dry erase marker also Trapr

Hey Rey, Your taste is the perfect blend of class and rugged practicality. I've never fired a magnaported pistol, but with 50 years experience I'm betting you know what you're doing. You have fine taste, in both pistols and leather.

You have fine taste, in both pistols and leather. BEN: THANK YOU TO ALL: I THINK THE PROBLEM WITH THE WHITE POST IS THAT WITH THE PORTING IT GETS SOOTED UP AND THEN IS NOT A SHARP WHITE LINE. AN ALL BLACK FS WOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. LIKE SOME OF YOU. I WAS THINKING OF SOME TAPE SO AS NOT TO HAVE TO COLOR THE WHITE POST. - 45MAN
