I really like that model 63. Something about the 4" J frames really appeals to me.

I don't know how common the target trigger is on the model 18, but I don't think I've seen very many with it.

This one has a target trigger and target hammer,

I got a couple more made in the 90s pre-lock if you want to see them. A 625-6

and an 8-shot 627-PC

Almost forgot I had this: 19-4

Almost forgot I had this unfired 19-6 too. Damn fading memory. It belongs to the Mrs.

This one has a target trigger, target hammer, target sights, and target grips.

You have a very nice revolver there. Target sights usually mean red ramp w/white outline though. Yours appears to have a Baughman ramp on the front, they were extremely popular and common for decades. All Model 18s that I know of had adjustable rear sights, unless there was some rare special order I'm unaware of.

Thank you. I was relying on another person's infp/ I will correct my post.
