Which Match Sights?

[carpet1]

On my recently acquired Contender with a 7 tcu bull barrel, which match sights would I need. I have seen 2 styles. Anybody have a link, or photo?
Thanks

The usual answer would be Bo-Mar, but there are no new ones. Iron Sight Gun Works sights should be available.  There are good sights from T/C. Also, Ken Light in Calif offers sights as well as E A Brown in Minn. Which match interests you ?

Both pistol silhouette out to 200 meters and smallbore. I used to shoot lots years age. Not many matches around anymore

During all the years I shot IHMSA my go to sights were the Wichita Multi Range front and rear for my TC's, XP-100's and Wichita's and factory sights on the revolvers.   For the TC's, second choice was either the TC Ultimate or the TC Super Silhouette sights (which were similar), followed by the standard factory open sights.   Some folks used TC's so called saddle sights as well for silhouettes.  I tried them and didn't like them for various reasons and usually just changed my hold for the different ranges rather than mess with readjusting them (same as I did with the TC open sights).   All of the TC sights come up for sale often enough to still find and afford them, the "wheel" sights the least often and more exspensive, but lots of luck finding a Wichita set for a TC and being able to afford them if you do.   When I sold my last sets of them several years ago they sold for $300-350 per set.

Larrt'y review is a good one and illustrated with pictures.  Are you aware that IHMSA allows optic sights ?  Usually they are found on the 14'' barrels due to considerations of eye relief, but you can use a 10'' if you are careful of muzzle placement.  Also, you can use a 10'' in Standing as they balance better.

I used to use Bomar or ISGW rears with a Bond adjustable front sight.
