For quick close shooting it works. I struggle with a consistent sight picture for longer range and precision shooting because of the lack of reference points. The dot is above the V and that’s all you get.

The stippled grips look home-modified and are an unknown maker. The smooth ones might be old Herrett's. Both eBay purchases where I was looking for styles to try for drawing and recoil purposes.

You stole that. Top tier gun stock maker.
What a great looking rifle.

Single shot conversions are the cheapest and easiest, specifically the Encore or having JES rebore a No 1/3. Lever actions are all an expensive proposition, and while they're cool a 45 Colt or 45-70 can do any practical job a 500 Linebaugh could do.
A pair of Encore barrels would be fun- a 16-18 inch carbine with brake and a 4 inch pistol barrel set up for a red dot or 2x scope.

How about a Smith and Wesson 1891, Stevens model 35 or 43 or similar type H&R? Or go big with a Camp Perry. I still enjoy a single shot single action, they're as safe as it gets for teaching kids, and those old guns have a charm to them. Bearcats are sized right, but the action is harder to use than a Single Six. It's not the easiest to do, but a J frame 22 can be tuned to have a pretty nice trigger. My model 63 with a 4 inch barrel and adjustable sights sees more rounds than all my big bores combined. The old Colt DA 22s are still a good value I think. OMM or OMT. Not sure how California would like this, but the old Fiala are neat. They are magazine fed but not semi auto. www.gunbroker.com/item/990161610www.youtube.com/watch?v=GabtQN6Fbf0

I think that's the best of all worlds. Original Colt SAA action, flat top with adjustable sight, and you upgraded the ugly (personal preference, I know lots of guys like it) NF front sight.
Very well done!
Now you've got me thinking I need to look for a NF

Stay away from anything with acetone, including lacquer thinner.

I have a few boxes as well. IIRC they were about $1 a pop?
They’re probably all getting pretty brittle by now.

www.rugerforum.com/threads/44-40-ammo.307784/I'm posting this here so someone else buys it so I don't buy one of these Uberti guns and have another cartridge to manage. I'll wait for one to come available in a cartridge I already load, because the FTT is a great configuration.

Most of my friends pig hunt with 300 blackout AR pistols running suppressors. One is playing with an 8.6 blackout pistol, suppressed.
For subsonic hunting barrel length is a liability.
The pistol loophole is just a way around SBR policy, which is unconstitutional anyway according to most gun folks.
SSK made integrally suppressed contenders using the same concept. That’s the Fudd version of AR pistols.
I don’t see why a suppressed PCC isn’t a reasonable home defense option.

I can't take credit. I have a Dustin Linebaugh Vaquero where he did a similar rounded treatment on the factory grip frame and it feels great. I told Ronnie how perfect it felt to me, and he set about tweaking the design with the benefits of building the part from scratch. Add in some of Ronnie's preferred improvements and the PJ was born.
I think the problem is Ronnie has so many designs that finding names for them all is a challenge and "PJ" was convenient.
