I like it, too. Very nice, Dave. How are the sights on that? Are they easy to see? Not expecting much on such a small; gun, but I recently traded off two of my little Ruger Bearcats because those tiny gutter sights have been too hard for me to deal with, anymore.
NCG, the sights are hard for me to see. They look great, but the stainless on stainless and a pretty shallow gutter make it almost impossible for me to use the sights. They give me the general idea and that's all I need. The whole thing is very well made.

I have to say, I bought it for the collect-ability of the thing more than to actually carry. The pouch and belt buckle in nice shape made it look interesting. I don't think they are made by Freedom Arms anymore. It will likely be a display item.

I know many people carry similar revolvers everyday, I have a couple of other small guns that I carry when "not" carrying, but not this small.

Very cool Dave, and especially so since you got the buckle and all.
Not surprised that you comment on it being well made, Freedom Arms has been at the front edge for a lot of very high performance revolvers, and on the complete opposite end of the spectrum from your little revolver.

Thanks, Dave. Pretty much what I suspected about the sights. Guess I could mount a red dot or something. Not. :)

That is a cool revolver.

I haven't shot this one, but it is the smallest I own.

I have an antique colt #1 single shot... It's pretty small as well.
But, not THAT small. :roll:

I don't look back at the things I can't do anymore with regret, I just look forward to the things I still can.
