I've owned and shot this English Manton style .40 ca. pistol for somewhere between 20-25 years, and have shot a lot of club matches with it. It has been sitting in a safe for the past couple years, and I decided maybe it's time to see if I could still make it shoot. I ordered a new California front sight and fitted it up and headed for the range.
It took me a lot of filing as I had to remove around half of the height of the front sight to get it to where it should be. As you can see from the pic, I would fire a shot, grab the file and whack away at it some more...over and over. It looks like there is still some shooting left in this old pistol...but I recently ordered me a Pedersolli LeMat to play with, so who knows...either one of them might end up at some shoots with me.
