Hi, Flintstone. I bought my first Colt revolver about 1 1/2 years ago. It's also a PPS, but with a 2" chopped barrel, filed-down front sight and was built in 1922. I'm generally not real handy with revolvers, but once I got used to that front sight, it didn't take very many shots to get in sync with this little gem. I love it and I carry it often because it hides nicely in baggy summer clothes here.
