I'll share something, think the rear sight body aluminum. A pin to the front, a spring underneath. Yes ? Soo, my 44 '80's SBH that my nephew now has suffered from the not tall enough front sight too. The gun spent it's early life with the rear sight bottomed out. One day...took it apart, pulled the spring out, filed down the rear bottom where it contacts the bottom of the sight channel. Gained some downward adjustment. YMMV. I have been known to unhook a leg of the hammer spring to lower the trigger pull, am that kinda redneck. That particular SBH did have a full on action job from a real gunsmith, a lighter spring in place. Other Rugers have suffered my ministrations..

"Other Rugers have suffered my ministrations.." Redneck's don't talk like that - your cover has been blown . . .

Aye, well enough read, prefer to put forth more of a L.L'Amour front.

So after discussing the issue with Fermin I was all set to get a new front sight that would hopefully be adjustable for the whole range of bullets. I still may do this but a little light bulb went off and I recalled that I've never shot this gun with standard roundball! I'm relegated to the indoor range at the moment because of weather here in Nebraska so black powder play is out. I ran some roundball through a sizer die and loaded it into 45acp cases with a pinch of Bullseye just to test the theory and wouldn't you know it, dead center group. So once again Ruger got it right and it works as designed. I'm gonna play around with the loading some and enjoy the self contained roundball for a bit.

Sounds like a great small game load!
