Blackhawk sights

[zacharoo]

Where can I find a white outline sight blade to fit in my blackhawk  rear sight. My 45 colt sights are getting hard for these 58 year old eyes to see.

Not sure? But you can replace the rear sight with one of these.

This may help.

Good Luck

I'm pretty sure that Ruger offers just the white outline blade for it's rear sights, and it is not hard to change one out. I know that the rear sights themselves are all the same from GP-100 to Blackhawk, to Single Six for that matter. There may be some differences in the rear blade height, but I think they would be slight. The "Micro Sights" used on the Flattops are different, of course.

Thanks a lot fellows . I researsed the one ragged hole sights. I am leaning to that rought.any of you guys ever vused these. i find a peep sight easier to see on a rifle for me with the center piece removed. Is it easyier on a pistol. RFoor less than 30 dollars and they a re supposed to be guarunteed or money back if not liked?

Thanks a lot fellows!!!

ive got the one ragged hole peep sight on my 44 sbh and i love it!  ive always like peep sights and whan i found one for my S/A i had to have it.  no compliants or regrets.  i was able to do it my self so anyone can replace the sights.  if it sounds like im beating the oneraggedhole drum, ya bet ya.  oh; no i dont work for them.

I have the old eye problem too. Have you tried a white outline rear sight? For me they make the sight picture worse

[Tallwalker]

I'm pretty sure that 'Ruger sells the white outline rear blades for it's rear sights separately, and for a pretty reasonable price. To the best of my knowledge, they are all the same so you can use one from a GP-100 on a Blackhawk for example. The only thing I'm not positive about is whether or not there might be a slight height difference.

bluecow, did you have to change out the front sight?  I've looked at them several times, think I'm gonna break down and get a couple to try.  I see they make em for rifles as well.  DP

dpe.ahoy no i havnt but have thought about fiberoptics for the front but aint done so yet.  i got an real bad case of if it works dont fix it, but think a f.o. front sight would do well in the woods

Alot of the Ruger rear sights have the outline they just haven't added the white.   I take a toothpick and use whiteout just wipe off any overlap with cloth no problem.   If you want a colored ramp I apply finger nail polish.  It can be removed easily if I later change my mind or decide to sell/trade.
