I shot a USPSA match with a century-old S&W M&P revolver.
The sights are pretty minimal. When in shooting position, only the top bit of the front sight is visible in the rear sight. I had painted the back of the front sight with "traffic cone orange" nail polish over a white base coat and it was surprisingly visible. The trigger was as sweet as only an old Smith and Wesson revolver (or one with custom work) can be.
USPSA matches are speed matches. Your base score is how long it takes to shoot a stage. Then time is added for every hit outside of the "A" zone and for misses. So it goes slower with a revolver as reloading is a little slower (for most people) and the capacity is far less than the full-sized pistols commonly used in such matches.
I didn't score last, not even close to last. So I was pretty happy.

My buddy had one. He called it his "Andy of Mayberry gun".

It's a lot of fun to shoot. But those pre-war guns are not drop-safe from a very high distance (like twenty feet).
