I too prefer the adjustable-sight version. I have a Blackhawk in .45 Colt. that, using handloads of 20 gr. of Lil'Gun and hard cast 255 gr. LSWCs, is tack drive at 50 yds. I fitted mine with Hogue monogrips as the recoil is pretty stiff with this load. I'm still hoping to take a deer with mine. My gun has the accessory .45 ACP cylinder and is pleasant to shoot with those loads.
