I bought a Super Blackhawk 10.5" that was scoped. I want to put a rear sight on it that was missing. When I looked them up it say with a bump or without a bump. I put a rear sight that came off a single six and it didn't work. The SBH has a raised area around the rear sight screw hole. So I need. Rear sight with a bump? Thanks.

I think you need the "protected sight" version …. Which means your gun is NOT a flattop.

It's a NM SBH so yes ears and not a flattop. But they make them with a bump and no bump as listed in the parts list.

Yes, that is the "bump." Some models are just flat through this area.
