Gonna be a shooter.........

Since the replaced front sight pretty much spoils the collector value of this Colt, I have decided that it is going to be one of the pieces that gets to go to the range on a regular basis. Also, since I now have a milling machine, it would be easy to add an adjustable rear sight on this puppy. I have come to appreciate, even enjoy shooting this chambering in a revolver. Using a 100 grain bullet at about 1200 fps, it has almost as much muzzle energy as a 38 special with a good bit less felt recoil. Being a revolver, it is easy to keep up with the brass and 32-20 dies are pretty easy to find. I also have a Colt Police Positive (smaller frame gun) in this chambering so it will add to the shooting fun. And, who knows, someday I might even get a Winchester or a Colt Lightning Magazine Rifle in this round!
