I have a Depression era or older 32WCF (32-20) SA Colt Bisley model with a grooveed topstrap rear sight.
I have pics of my Mom and me plinking at a creek about 40 years ago. I handloaded the ammo back then. I recall that we got pretty good with it @ 20 yards. Fun times!!! My paternal grandad bought it used during the Depression in order to do some night watchman job. My Dad used it in Venzuela right after he got back from Pacific theater (1946). Him and a friend spent a year down there. Shell Oil was adamdent about 2 things you had to have. One was clean Khakies and the other was you had to be armed. The natives were shooting from out of the jungles at the workers. Dad did say he shot that old pistol a few times. The pay was very good.
