What looks like a dark area on the rear of the left Hammerless and the front of the right Hammerless in the bottom row of the bottom picture is the reflection of my head in the polished finish on the pistols.

That's because of the string. Without the bit of threatening cord, it's as mild mannered as a petunia.

(It's not only ugly, but it's fairly heavy for it's size. But the rifle is doing well with this type of stock on the front lines, generally enhanced with some sort of optics. )
