I’d say banging steel or murdering feral swine at ~100 yds with unmodified post-40 eyeballs is well within the fun factor of a nicely made .357.

It’s a reversible modification on most revolvers that have adjustable rear sights, such as SP-101, GP100, Blackhawk, Redhawk, and J-Frames on up through the S&W line. I also wish someone would make a plate for a Kimber K6.

Nostalgia isn’t always the way you remember it….when I was a kid, lots of Boomer-gen hunters owned scoped Smiths, and it was normal.
Yes. I believe it was a scope on a Colt Python.
And I had early Burris 2X scopes on a couple of K frame, Davis PPC guns.
Optics inarguably make taking the mechanical precision available from a wheel gun much more effortless or efficient.
I was referring to the “sin” of putting optics on such a classy wheel gun, in jest.
