Anyone out there use one of these yet? I was thinking of puting one on my SBHH and would like to here some reviews.

Thanks,

peep sights belong on rifles and dont work well for precision shooting with a handgun imo.

:D I have "One Ragged Hole" sights on 2 of my Rugers, {security six and Bisley 5.5" SS 44 mag}. They work great for my old eyes.   phydaux

Ragged Hole will send you 2 sizes of sight holes with your order.  I like the smaller of the 2 out to about 35 yds, fast acquisition in brushy areas.  The larger one just never seemed to work right for me.  I know of others that do well with them and some shooters that don't.  For experimenting purposes they are pretty low priced.  If they don't work for you pass them on to a friend as they may work for them.

Work on my Rugers, with some caveats

I have used these on three Rugers, a 6" Security Six .357, a Super Blackhawk .44 Mag. and an Old Army black powder.

If you are past age 50 and have trouble seeing open sights, and use longer barrels of 6" or more they will help.  I did not find them helpful for shorter barrel revolvers for combat style shooting.

A potential disadvantage is that the center of the aperture is higher than the original rear notch and you may not have adequate range of adjustment to lower the rear sight to obtain a proper zero before the sight bottoms out.   This isn't a problem if using 125-gr. or lighter bullets in the .357 where you need to crank in more elevation anyway, but is a problem with the .44 and larger bores if shooting bullets over 200 grains.

On the two guns where I wanted to keep the ragged hole sights I had a gunsmith machine some off the bottom of the adjustable rear sight and also deepened the bottom of the sight cut in the frame so that I could lower the sight body as much as possible and still clear the hammer nose.

Put one (the smaller) on my BH.  Works great for my 'older' eyes.

Works great on my 357max balckhawk.  Works more like a ghost ring site.  Love mine for deer hunting. :biggun:
