A rounded Commander-style spur hammer and a solid, non-skeletonized trigger complement the classic configuration. Diamond-checkered walnut grips with Charles Daly medallions complete the exterior.
Sighting is straightforward with a fixed front blade and a square-notch rear set in a dovetail. The pistol carries matching serial numbers on the frame, slide, and barrel hood, a detail appreciated by buyers who value consistency across fitted components.
