Range officer has to inspect the arms to see if they qualify for a certain match
such as inspection of a revolver to see if it is legal to use in a "As Issue" match.
My Remington revolver I use can't have the front sight more than .080 thick,
and must be in the little half moon shape. No trigger stops. Conicals can be used, but nobody ever does. Height of the front sight can be any heigh tho. One
range officer inspected my revolver over 15 min. Looking for a trigger stop
because I was friends with a guy who was known to put hidden trigger stops
In revolvers. He never found anything and had to approve my revolver. I won
the match. Watch them Gary, some people can get very clever.
I have seen hidden trigger stops in muskets, such as the Zouva, and Enfield.
I have seen rear sights on smooth bore trade guns hidden so you would never
see them. I have a Hawlken that has a hidden peep sight on it, that you can't
see. Fellows would wear a wide brim hats and fold down the front as shade and
cut a hole in it to see and shoot thru as a peep. In my 50 years of shooting
I have seen just about everything.
