LCRX 3" rear sight question (Answered by Bowen)

[collector rob]

I ordered a LCRX 3". I was wondering if anyone here knew if the Bowen Rough Country rear sight would fit this gun. I flipped back and forth between the GP 100 and LCRX3 images on the Ruger web site and they looked identical.
I emailed Bowen but am waiting for an answer.
Thanks.

Update: WOW! got a reply from Bowen on Easter Sunday!

Dear Sir:

Thanks for your inquiry.

We have not yet seen an LCRX in person here but I will assume this revolver uses the same sight as the SP101 and Bearcats which is a newer smaller design in which case our Rough Country sights will not fit as they are of the larger, standard-pattern sights.

At this writing, we have no plans to produce a smaller version of the Rough Country since none of our existing components would work. Hope this will help; thanks for your interest.

Sincerely yours,

Hamilton S. Bowen
Bowen Classic Arms Corp.

Mr. Bowen has been very helpful with all of my projects. maybe we can request a "Divine Intervention" and get him to start making them.

Bowen is a good one.
But don't hold your breath for a new type of sights. Heck, he can't keep up with all the current orders!

I had the privilege of meeting Hamilton and his parents a few years ago. He is a Southern gentleman of the old school; his late father was even more so.

collector rob,

I would imagine the Bowen Rough Country could be modified to fit the LCRX 3". But it might look a little out of proportion.

new to ruger. re: new lcrx - looking to buy, any thoughts from owners on quality, accuracy, kick, 38+p shooting stats?
thanks - Paul

The 3" LCRx with the longer Hogue grip has much less felt recoil than the standard LCR to me.
