Larry,
My response was directed to your comment about opening your arm on the rear sight not any other wear and tear. I also based that answer from experience with several Blackhawks one with a stock rear sight and the other with a Bowen, as I just got this flattop it does not have many miles on it at this point but no issues so far. I need to take another look at how the revolver is positioned in the holster where the leather meets the frame.
Your rig sounds like a good solution.
NICE LEATHER!!!
I'm starting to wonder if my sight frame is somehow sharper than other examples. Mine --- literally --- will cut the inside of your arm the way a box cutter would with only a tiny bit of box cutter blade exposed.
I can't position it behind my hip, because I'm often on a 4 wheeler, tractor or horse.
Sometimes I over-think things like this: if you've had no problem maybe I'm making too big of a deal out of it. It's surely sharp, though. Way different than my non-FlatTop Blackhawks.
