A fun gun.............

I bought this Cimarron/Uberti Open Top Navy .38 Special/Colt back in January of this year.  I loaded up some mild .38 Special rounds, about as much steam as a .22 L.R., and this has proved to be one pleasant gun to shoot:

Most of my guns for many years were heavy loaded, fire breathin' magnums or potent .44 Specials.  Age has sort of mellowed me a bit, and this gun is, as I often put it, "a reloadable .22 R.F."  The sights are terrible, and I had to use judicious use of a file to get  on target with the gun.  Two unexpected features:  The barrel stub directs the flash forward and upward, so the gun, and my hand, stay cleaner without getting crud on the cylinder.  And its the only revolver I have that allows cleaning the bore from the breech end.

 

Wouldn't mind having a .44 Special like it.
