Do you have one of these for a super blackhawk?

I think that is the sexiest profile. I have a 7.5" that i plan to cut to that length with a weigand sight base and dx blade.

I have a set of j Scott black pearl grips floating around.

Yeh I am undecided. Kinda hard to beat $10 for a new ruger from sight compared to $60+ for sight base and blade.

Yeh that's a great starting point. I have some suggestions on ex sight blade height, but no idea what combo to start with of using an aggie base and FA blades. And those blades aren't cheap....

So if I would go with an aggie base, any ideas on blade height? I know freedom arms has a list of sizes for their barrel lengths, but nothing related to load weights. The weigand base does come with screw and is made to be tapped, where as the aggie base would have to be modified. Case I solder...

I would love to hear more about the harmonics in a revolver, and how ejector rods, front sights, and an underlug affect the platform?

These are my exact observations. I watched the gunbroker market for months. A 7.5 sells for an average of $350-$450 depending on wear and finish. A 4-5/8 is at least $100+ more on average. Granted there are some factors here that can't be accounted for like wanted a square trigger guard(for...

I have shortened another firearm with good success. My plan is to attach a front sight, vs sweat and only have to deal with the end needed to be touched up. The other issue with getting a shorted model blackhawk is that they do not use a dragoon frame, which i want.

The wood should be maple...as for the length, I guess I don't foresee it getting carried/packed as much when it's this long. Unless it's on a dedicated gun belt, I wouldn't even be able to sit unless it was cross draw/chest mounted.

So i got a newOk gentleman. I am proud to announce that I am now an owner of a center fire single action. I'm am super pumped to get into big bore handguns. I picked up a 1975 production date 7.5" super blackhawk 44 mag, recessed chambers. It's mint, basically unfired. Even has original box and...

so no single six sights and no 10.5 sights. So I could un-sweat my factory one, or use this raw one from midway...

I meant the front sights....I am cutting a blackhawk down and looking for a screw mount front sight.

Could you use these on a blackhawk?

Yeh mine is blued, so it does not have the interchangeable blade slot. I could also use the 10.5 blackhawk sight which is screw mounted.
