Спасибо~~~Spasibo~~~Thanks to you both for your comments
Not only a "new territory for you," but for me also. Never had a .45LC revolver until this year, let alone a pair of them. One thing I've found out is how pleasantly different the .45LC caliber is to shoot.
Another really
huge new thing for me was originally the biggest concern I had about buying the Russian. That was the size and configuration of the rear fixed sight. It's so
small! I didn't get out my calipers, but used a regular ruler to measure after I cleaned the gun tonight. The height of each side post is 1/16"; the slot in between is 1/16" wide. The front blade fits like a sliver perfectly in between the rear posts, and puts me squarely on target. All very easily done; almost without thinking. Fortunately, Uberti has both guns built well with terrific accuracy using fixed iron sights.
These sights are the best I've had on any of my revolvers....go figure. It's a revolver with the longest barrel I've ever had at 6.5". Don't know if that factor makes an important difference or not. Honestly, I can't figure why this revolver with its tiny sights is so easy to shoot. Just glad it is.
I'm not by any means a marksman. This gun deserves a lot of the credit, I think, for the reasonable POIs I've had.

You know, I've never even seen a range report with one of these interesting beauties, before. Whole new territory for me and I'm sure a lot of folks. So generous of you to share like this. Keep up the good work and, of course, good shooting. I think you and those Russians make a great combo.
Yup, it has been
fun & exciting as I've acquired these new revolvers this year. My choices have
turned out really good.
Interesting comments on the rabbit colors. First, I'm color-blind
(primary red/green, but that crosses the line and mixes up basic colors, too). At the same time, I battle floaters in both eyes. That almost give a translucent color to what I aim at looking down the barrel of a gun.
To be honest, I wouldn't care if the rabbit was white, blue, silver, brown even with polka dots.
All I would really like is to harvest some rabbits this hunting season. Even if I got only one, that would be the first time for me. I think it would be rewarding to put meat on the table. I got a very, very late start in firearms just as I retired. The several seasons I've been out deer hunting, that was what I did.....hunting only, and nary a harvest. Hoping more rabbits will hop around the woods and give me the chance to bring some harvest in this winter!
