Who likes pork chops?

I've got EWK fiber optic front sites on my 715, and on one of my 15-2's. Williams makes a F/O rear sight for the Ruger GP-100 that fits - here is my 15-2 with F/O sights, 6" EH EWK barrel, muzzle brake, Pac 'Gripper' grips, and jeweled hammer and trigger (and internals) just for fun:

Back to the porkchop - The front site on the 15 is a bit taller than a 14 sight, but it's back a bit from the muzzle, unlike some of the 15 sights I've seen.

Here is the hump on my 14-2

Here is porky with his rear sight removed

The sight body is similar to an S&W but a bit different. The size and the screw holes don't match any of my K, L, or N frames of any era (that I have access to).

I disagree. My first gun was a Taurus POS that had the S&W type cylinder release, and I didn't think much about it. When that that gun went away to Taurus for the second time, I bought a used DW 15-2 from a pawn shop, and instantly thought "This is the way the latch should be on all revolvers!". About 35 years later, I still feel the same way. The other latches all seem wrong to me.
Maybe I'm more ambidextrous than most people are, but it just seems totally logical and "right". When I empty/load my friend's 686, it's just weird.

Now they do, right after I built my own because it was before the GP 100 was invented.:eek:
I actually like the OOO sight picture.

Might the rear sight be a Williams, but not for an S&W?

Re the "odd positioning" of the cylinder latch. It doesn't bang your thumb in recoil, if you pop it with the (for a right hander) thumb of the off hand & stick the fingers through the hole in the frame to cradle the cylinder as it opens then you can rotate the barrel semi-vertical with the left hand while tapping the ejector with the left thumb. This leaves the right hand free to grab a fresh speed-loader form a right side front pouch at the same time.

It may be unconventional & unfamiliar, but its really not aquward at all
 
The DW latch position is perfect for a lefty. Grab around the cylinder with right hand, pull latch with right index finger and roll out cylinder with thumb area of your hand. At that point the whole revolver is supported by your right hand.

Dump spent cases with left palm, and load up the cylinder. Roll cylinder closed with right hand fingers while grabbing butt of revolver with left hand.
 
I bought a 4” pork chop several years ago and picked up the last (that’s what they told me) available 6” barrel for it. I mounted an ancient 1.7X Hudson Handgunner scope on the 6”.
It’s very accurate, but I only shoot light .38 loads, since the scope is irreplaceable.
