Thanks Brian,

Something about the subtleties of their design, especially the smaller one, really make me love the design of these. Also I have found they are some of the most comfortable handguns I have ever held.

Did I mention the triggers? Wow, just perfect, I don't think I have ever handled a revolver (S&W or Colt) that had crisper trigger. The chaps that made these were 'real' craftsmen - well done the Victorian/Birmingham gun trade.

O and by the way, you can just make out a safety just above my thumb, talk about being ahead of it's time.

Cheerio,

Roy
