I've always wanted to play with one. The sights are fixed but after about 2-3 shots you can figure where it hits and compensate. I actually like coarse things like this and the challenge. We shot turtles and snakes back in the 70's out to 100 yds. with a Single Six and Bearcat, we had a FIE and Ruger 4-3/4" Std. Auto too in our arsenal. It totally shocked our parents when they witnessed our handgun work. It seemed impossible to them, we didn't know any better. A rabbit or squirrel up close was in real danger. We lived a blissful pre-teen life.
I could entertain myself for quite a while with one of those. They run $200-250 today. The grips can warp but a clunker would be ripe for customization way beyond it's value. What fun.
