As a guy who cut his shooting teeth at three-gun bullseye matches, I have a soft spot for revolvers set up for slow-timed-rapid fire. These two old Colts must've punched a lot of holes in the X ring, but they are still ultra-crisp. The King conversion (in the background) with its almost unbelievably short action -- but consistent ignition -- is on an earlier Officer's Model. The heavy-barrel gun in the foreground has Walter Roper front and rear sights and modified hammer and trigger. Both, of course, wear Sanderson grips.

Modified hammer and trigger (Roper work? I don't know)
