.38/44 HD

Awesome pieces. They don't make them like that anymore.

Love my M58, always wanted a 38/44, but never could find "the right" one.

Beautiful examples of blue steel.

Something about a fixed sight, 4" N frame appeals to me.

Yeah they are some awesome old Smiths. Do you prefer the ramp or half moon front sight?

[gaijin]

Lot of glare off the half moon.
Of the two I prefer the ramp.
My preference in an "old school" FS however is a Patridge or undercut serrated post for a really sharp sight picture.
Unfortunately those were unavailable off the shelf, but could be had special order, or retro-fit with a pinned FS.

Who uses the sights. In my encounters I did not have time to use them ever. And that's the way I now practice.

I use the sights, for one.
Granted there are scenarios where the use of sights isn't feasible or necessary.
However, given the choice- or opportunity I will use them.
My hit percentage is enormously higher using sights

I have a S&W N frame 25-5 45 long colt I carried it for 13 years when I carried a badge. It served me well on duty and off. And now it's my travelling companion,and home defense. The N frame is the best.
