It’s not popular but my opinion of the Belgian Colts isn’t very high, I’ve had one or two out of a half dozen or so. If you find a good one hold on to it as they do have significant collectors interest… I’ve had one very good one, complete with the box and paperwork. Traded it away for something better… damned if I can remember what the better thing was but that Centaure was a good shooter.
Well your either a hero or a heal when over hauling guns to this extent. Hope to wind up with a silk purse of a revolver instead of a sows ear! I'll be surprised if the out of aligned chambers shoot to the same point of aim as the aligned three do. Hope she doesn't spit either !
I am anxious to see if this close fit cylinder gap fouls less than the more open ones. If it works I'll set back by Pietta and try the end fit thing to see if it enhancers accuracy but I seriously doubt it. Most likely it's the excellent alignment , reamed chamber mouths and lapped barrel that make the Pietta shoot well.
