I think it looks great.

Responders, thank you for your replies! From those who have them utilitarian seems to best describe the ROA. It’s meant to be used, a lot. It’s a shooter and any esthetic similarity to CW revolvers is either secondary or unimportant- is that about right ? I guess If I were carrying a c&b sidearm...
