Where did you get the One Hole sight? That would look nice on my Redhawk!! I have the aged eyes syndrome also. Barrysteveodtw said:The instructions on the One Hole sight suggest you try to ignore the rear sight and concentrate putting the front sight on the target. Your brain will take care of centering everything naturally in the hole. And you still have the elevation and windage adjustment on the factory GP100 rear sight base. You just replace the rear sight notched blade with the round hole. Hope it works as good as it sounds. Should work like a Ghost sight/receiver sight. Thanks for the likes.
Thanks so much for the link. I have one on order. I just wish they made them for Smiths also. Barrysteveodtw said:I got the One Hole sight from Warren Custom Outdoors at this link. http://www.warrencustomoutdoor.com/one-hole-sights.html
Incidentally, the Millet front sight pictured is not a FO sight. It is a standard blade sight with factory Red/orange paint on the upper half. Almost as bright as FO. Very visible as you can see, as long as you have some light. (Millet Sights Ruger Revolver Sight, Front Orange-bar for GP100/Super Redhawk, P/N FB00018). I can't find any current reference on availability of this front sight. Looks like Millet is an optics-only company now. Looks similar to Shopruger.com Red Front Sight PN 90074 for GP100. Not as bright though. Hope this helps.
Steve-did you have any trouble getting the factory sight windage screw out? The slot is so narrow and shallow I am having trouble removing it. I will look for a better screwdriver tomorrow. Just wondering if you had any trouble. Thanks. Barrybarrya said:Thanks so much for the link. I have one on order. I just wish they made them for Smiths also.

As I recall, the windage screw only had to be loosened enough to move the sight blade far enough to the right to remove it. Just remember, the factory sight blade, like the One hole blade has a tiny key or nub that fits into a tiny slot in the sight base. You have to work the blade past right of center until it finds the slot. Then it should pull straight up. The new one goes in reverse order. Good luck.barrya said:Steve-did you have any trouble getting the factory sight windage screw out? The slot is so narrow and shallow I am having trouble removing it.
