Truglow has a sight and mount, which takes the place of your iron sights.

Thank you John.  I have a TruGlo on my .445 Super and love it.  I'll go there and check it out.  You're appreciated.

I emailled TruGlo and they said they didn't make it ??? ???  Perhaps it's another brand?

Petemi,

Looks to me like the best way to put a red dot on a Ruger Revolver that doesn't isn't a Hunter model might be with JP Enterprises JPoint Holographic sight and bases (adapters) the goes in where the rear sight is normally. Link to page w/adapters: http://www.jprifles.com/1.6.1a.php  Link to page with sights: http://www.jprifles.com/1.6.1.php

Burrris offers what looks to be pretty much the same thing as the FastfireII with mounts for varied applications: http://www.burrisoptics.com/fastfire.html

The above products look like the "best" or cleanest way to put a red dot type sight on a non-hunter model Blackhawk.  The are small, compact, light weight; mount where the rear sight is mounted w/o modification to the revolver allowing to to be put back to original configuration easily.

Oh, notice the other firearms that can be set up with this setup.

Go with the Weaver. I would avoid the B Square no drill mount as it will shoot loose no matter how you mount it.
