Looks like the Coppertone girl finally grew up!! You know us Ol' timers are probably the only ones who remember that ad!

Now it's funny that you bring up the Coppertone Girl BPS. It just goes to illustrate how our society has changed. Everyone got a kick out of that ad and no one was upset. Today it might draw complaints of borderline "kiddie porn".
Anyway, you're right. The Coppertone Girl has grown up and is as cute as ever.

Thank you for posting the pictures!
I think I finally have an answer to the question I have asked in the past, but was never answered.
From looking at the picture -
it appears there are 2 notches in the hammer for the trigger sear to engage, providing a half-cock.
I have never seen a underhammer action in the half-cock position and wondered if they had one.
I like that sight, too! Looks very simple, but functional!

Lots of people think they are ugly. To me, simplicity is beauty, and these are about as simple as they come. Three moving parts, the hammer, the trigger, and the spring trigger guard.
To top it off, they are a uniquely American innovation.
You know I like peep sights, and this one is a dandy with three aperture sizes.

In this day and age, even thinking the wrong think or say something that can even be considered wrong, and someone is going to be offended. When did American's grow such a thin skin? But so far, no one complained to me about it.
