I read somewhere, a while back, that the front sight on some of the 'original' revolvers used in the 'old west' were either filed down to the height of the front sight on most of the simi autos produced today or removed completly! And that the revolver was pointed at the target much like a shotgun, rather than aimed. I have no idea where the author got this bit of information or in what magazine I read this in [barbarshop maybe?] Anyway can this 'rumor' be substatiated? Or is this just some 'old wives tale' ?
