I know what it's like when ya say something in jest, and it is taken the wrong way & it is so hard to apologise in written text.... the person on the receiving end doesn't see or hear that you are just chuckling to yourself and pulling his chain

cheers

HEY dingo QS, can you carry your bp in a holster
and , lets say walk down the street like here in
arizona?.

Holsters for the pair ROA's/Pietta 1858's and another set of holsters for the Pair of Vaquaros.... but alas, if I even went to my letterbox (in the dark) wearing them, that would be the end of my owning any guns, ever (if anyone were to see

The laws and the sheeple over here would have kittens

Then the media would be onto me, if they found out how many guns I have (especially handguns) and how much ammo and reloading stuff I have.... I can see the headlines already " Sicko busted with 17 handguns, 5 long arms and 10,000 rounds of ammo" (potentially)

I would be hung, drawn and quartered before I could blink

Would be great living in your country.... must visit one day

>>>Maybe the gun is sighted in for 50 or 60 yards depending on the powder charge, who knows?<<<

Well, I do!

That was one of the first things I checked. Out at 75 yards it's still shooting high even with 25 grains. So I guess in answer to your question what I expect Traditions will do if I send it to them is either simply replace it or they'll send it (or have me send it) to a gun smith who is equipped to deal with this if such a thing exists.

Honestly I don't agree that the gun isn't faulty anymore than I would if it were shooting ten inches left of aim. At some point these things need to shoot close enough to point of aim for them to be enjoyable to shoot. My other fixed sight guns (Beretta Stampede, Uberti Colt 1873, Ruger Bearcat, Ruger Vaquero Montado, Uberti Remington 1858) all do so I'm not expecting anything unusual - just a correctly fitted gun.

With that said, I've not given up on it yet and I need to get back out to the range and see if a combination of a higher front sight and a filed hammer (I've not notched it deeper at all yet) will get me happy. Could be! I'll report back.

Cheers,
Oly

>>>maybe he just misunderstood me?<<<

Yep, guess I did.

>>>i did not say YOU was poor nor did i say YOU was a poor man<<<

Well, actually you did say that but I guess it was a typo:

>>>its a poor man who blames his TOOLS<<<

That's what you wrote, hence the misunderstanding as I thought you were insulting me. After all, I may actually be a poor workman/craftsman but by golly I'd like to think I'm a pretty good man.

No worries,
Oly
