This revolver has been up the top of my list for sometime now. I might have to order one online but I thought I’d try here if anyone has one they’re thinking of moving on
thanks all

I can honestly say that I've not seen one up for sale (2nd hand) for a long, long time buddy. Best of luck though, it might be an idea to post a wanted add on a few forums (AGF, UBC, BBS etc.) just to get it out to a wider audience of potential sellers.

I will probably end up just getting one new to be honest, but you never know, I’ll ask around a few places

I went for the 'Charging Rhino' in black with silver cylinder, hammer, trigger and crane, as it won't have very noticeable 'drag' lines on the cylinder after a while compared to say, a complete black one.

Depending on stock I’d like to go nickel, sports guns UK have a 50DS Silver in stock on their website but honestly I’d be happy with any of them

I’ll look into it for sure, I’m quite used to plain sights, I don’t think I’ve ever used fibres on a handgun, it would be good to see how much difference it makes. On some of mine I’ve coloured the front blade silver so I can see it against dark colours. Made a huge difference to how fast I can shoot my 1911

Yeah, I've done the same to my beloved 1911 (and quite a few of my other guns too) but the Rhino was my first gun with fibre optic sights and they're amazingly good for clarity. I always previously thought of them as just a 'fad' for real handgunners but once I tried them I'm sold on them and they've become a big plus point for some of my possible future gun purchases, as there are quite a few autos out there that have them fitted as standard.
One of the good things that I have noticed about the fibre optic sights is they are great in bright light (back garden on a sunny day) and even in low light levels too (indoors, with only dim electric light sources), the sights are very easy to pick out irrespective of the surrounding light intensity. They're a big positive for me, something I hadn't tried before but would now love on ALL of my handguns !

Didn't yours come up for sale again David recognised by the serial number? I think that was the only one I have seen for sale used up until now. Keep looking though TalinMoracius, I hadn't seen an M1A1 and then one turned up on Gunstar out of the blue. I will keep an eye out for you on my daily trawlings, I'll add it to the scope out list with an NRA SAA for Wild Bill 👍🏻
