Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Bowen Custom work

Stock RRH 5.5" 45 Colt. He did the usual trigger work and forcing cone work along with the sights. The sights are a 9/32" aperture rear and fiberoptic front post calibrated for a 300-grain bullet in the 1100 fps neighborhood. The sights weren't cheap as he had to fabricate the rear aperture but I balked at a red dot (I'm 64 and the usual blade/post type sights are a problem due to stiff lens in my eye ) which to my eyes destroy the "look" of a revolver. While I haven't shot it yet I've done a lot of dry firing and while I focus on the front post, the aperture stands out quite strongly as you can see. It all "looks good" at about 80% of arms length. The fiberoptic red doesn't stand out against this red background but does well against earth tone colors which is what I want for hunting whitetails.

Mr. Bowen is a pleasure to work with, came up with exactly I was thinking and his work is of the first order.
