Outlaw Kola Kid #60591L Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Does anyone shoot these and how do you like them. Picked up one today and felt really good in my hand. Pointed good also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangry Bob Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I have a stainless one. I have no problems in good lighting, but I find it difficult to pick up the sights with speed in a drizzle or low light such as a foggy morning. My front sight is very wide, with a squared rear notch. I would love it if it had the standard thin blade and rear notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 All my center fire revolvers are 5 4 Colt birds heads: two OM RVSSBH, 4 5/8" barrels. one Thunderer and one Uberti old model Cattleman, 4 3/4". Have no complaints with any of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I have a Uberti Thunder 3/5" barrel in .45 Colt tuned by Jimmy Spurs for reliability, not necessarily CAS. I carry this gun as a spare and as a truck-gun when I travel. I am not so sure about PAO/POI as I tend to shoot this shorty more point-of-point which does a good job POI. It points much better than it aims, but I never intended on using it beyond 10 yards anyways. Great concealed carry gun. Lots of horsepower in a small package.

Outlaw Kola Kid #60591L Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 I was thinking on this being a carry gun for around the farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangry Bob Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I have limited real estate around my middle. I found that it felt very bulk to me, and the hammer dug in without mercy. This was, however, in an IWB holster. A normal carry holster under a jacket would be comfortable enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I have a 3 1/2" Thunderer in 44 Spcl. The short barrels have the same front sight as the longer barrels which can cause them to point a little lower. Mine shot low with 200gr cowboy loads, but with a 240gr bullet loaded a little more stout it shoots to point of aim. I could have filed the sight down for the lighter loads but I don't shoot it too much for CAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
