Anybody use XS Sight Sytems sights on their Handis?

They are high dollar but well made.

The Williams WGRS looks like a winner, too, at much lass cost.

I have a set of XS ghost rings on my 500 smith and wesson handi and the sights are awesome I am really impressed with the quality.  I recommend them to anyone who is looking for replacement sights for any reason. They are right at home on a close range rifle like the 500.  but I would suspect them to be adequate for deer out to 200 yards or farther.

Yes please post some pics.
I looked on the website but there was no pic. of the sights on a Handi.
I'd be interested in getting a set for my soon to be purchased 30-06 Handi. ;)

Pic posting help is in the FAQs and also in each classified forum.  ;)

 If it would help, you could send them to me and I'll post them for you.

My home computer is down and I'm online at work, so I'll post them as soon as I get my laptop back this week.  Hopefully.  I had to get the shortest front sight that they offered to get it to shoot to POA @ 50 yards even though I only have one load that will shoot to POA so far (275 grn Barnes with 43 grns of lil gun) http://xssights.com/store/rifle.html is the link and the info they will ask for is the outside diameter of the barrel (.890) and the screw size and length and thread pitch which I lost but HandR will give it to you if you call. They also recommend that you drill and tap another hole for the front ramp, but I just used one and loctite and it hasn't moved yet, after 100 plus rounds.  Bare with me on the pics.

I don't know what the heck is going on with these pictures, that is not the picture that I intended to send to him, and now when I try to post the pics myself, it says that the connection is timing out and CW's email is giving me the run-around when I try to email him the correct pics!!!!!!! I'm gonna blow!! >:( >:( >:( >:( ;D ??? :-[

There's a limit to the size of attachments, you have to resize them smaller to attach them, the other option is to follow the pic posting instructions in the FAQs or in any of the classified forums, you can email them to me if you want, my ISP is more user friendly to big pics than CW's, check you PMs.  ;)

EDIT: I couldn't get them all on one post, so here's the last one.
