Peep Sights for Handguns?
« on: February 03, 2005, 12:21:50 PM »
I had a Stevens single shot 22LR pistol when I was a kid which had a "ring and bead" sight on it.  I liked it and recently a customer asked me if I could get one for his TC Contender.  I have never seen an advertisement for one and I was wondering if any of you have?  I know it is possible to jury rig something which might be satisfactory but I just don't have the time to do it.  Any comments other than suggesting an electronic sight?

Ghost ring sights are available for lots of popular handguns these days. They are not allowed in IDPA competition though. I would think that any aperture rifle sight that could be fitted on the contender would work with the proper front post.

Williams makes one similiar to what you are looking for.  I had one on a Contender but ran of adjustment before getting sighted in.  Would have a taken a new front sight also.  WRS might be the number.

Thanks! I will look it up. Hope I find it. No problem with a new front sight.
