Magnum Wheel Man you are a person of my own heart.

 

[Magnum Wheel Man]

nice gun... I'm still trying to decide if I want to put a front sight on mine or not... it's obviously a belly gun, so it shouldn't "need" a front sight, but I have a couple screw in brass beads... I might have to put one on yet anyway ???

[black mamba]

Pretty rare 5" BFR in 454 Casull, with a Sightmark green dot on top for my aging eyes.

 

[Driftwood Johnson]

A pair of heavily reworked Merwin Hulberts.

 

[JN01]

Pretty rare 5" BFR in 454 Casull, with a Sightmark green dot on top for my aging eyes.

Does that Sightmark hold up to the 454 recoil?

 

[5thShock]

Put sights on a sawed off obviously made for gut shooting at a poker table? It would mark you as a hopeless dude.

"Does that Sightmark hold up to the 454 recoil?"

JN01, I have put 300 rounds of 340 grain WLN at 1,000 to 1,250 fps through it with the Sightmark in place, plus some other lighter target loads. No problems so far.
