Clarence E. Mulford was the author of the Hopalong Cassidy books the TV show was based on. In the 1950's he wrote about his favorite gun. A Colt Single Action .44 Russian and Special, it had been modified with a barrel rib, special sights and a cylinder made of what he termed "strong steel" for the heavy loads he was shooting. He wrote that they "really packed a wallop."

I read that he was part of the .44 Associates.

The rear sight is a "folding leaf" sight with 2 blades. The shorter blade for normal distances and the longer blade for long-range work.
