Pistol day. My 1860 Colt SA Army Richards conversion revolver. 45 Colt. 8" barrel and a V-notch in the hammer as rear sight.

If I do my part this is a very accurate revolver. As mentioned before, the distance between front sight and rear when cocked is about 10". Helps to line things up pretty good.
Good shooting, RR. I don't recall if you've ever said where you set POA when shooting your 1860 SA? Are your fixed sights close to spot on? Thought of asking when you said the revolver is very accurate as long as "you do your part."

I haven't shot my Russian top break near the number of rounds you've sent down range. But I'm getting a better handle on using the fixed iron sights on mine. You handle that V-notch in the hammer with much aplomb. And the revolver has definitely been built with a quality hammer to maintain the sight accuracy you get out of it.

Enjoyed the revolver time.
