Sorry folks, but I have an "Outdoorsman" on the brain ....its a 38-44 Heavy Duty. Shoots decently to the sights. Windage is pretty good, but elevation requires some fudging with sights or the bullet weight.
Any ways, my point was that the lock's cosmetics to me aren't nearly as bothersome as its use when compared to certain lamented design changes.
