My newest addition. I have a Romeo1 MRDS enroute along with a Springer Precision RMR adapter plate in case the Romeo1 turns out to be a POS....
I also picked up a Steyr L9A1 on the EE for a great price. I decided to try a Leupold Deltapoint Pro MRDS on this one and quite like is thus far.

A piece of Canadian History, intermingled with some of my Family History.
My Father, referred to in the commentary, is the gentleman depicted in my avatar.
This revolver is a Nickeled Colt 1878 Double Action chambered in .45 Colt.
the serial number confirms that this revolver is 1 of 1000 such revolvers, Purchased by the Government of the Dominion of Canada in 1885.
these arms were destined to be used in the North-West Rebellion.
Further, This is one of these guns returned to the Government Armouries as evidenced by the stamped characters "36 MD" on the left front of the frame.
"Rack #36 Militia Department".
My Great-Uncle preparing to depart to do his bit in WWI, purchased this gun from the Government Armouries. Officers serving in the Army then, were required to purchase their own side-arms.
Upon returning from the front, my Great-Uncle gave his side-arm to his Brother.
His Brother became in time my Grand-Father.
Upon my Father's graduation from Military College RMC Kingston in 1936.
My Grand-father gave my Father the revolver as a graduation present.
My Father seeing no future in the peace-time army of the time, Obtained a commission In the British Army serving in India. He used the revolver in action until 1938. A broken mainspring put the gun out of commission. My Father then replaced the old warhorse with a Webley MKVI.
The old gun followed my Father home eventually after the end of hostilities in 1945.
In time I became custodian and caretaker of my Father's arms.
I have lately replaced the mainspring, and made some other minor repairs.
#36 MD is once again ready for action.
has the picture been deleted. I would live to see this piece. thanks
