To me the front sight can be the most custom part of a six gun. I'd like to see some different front sights on y'all's custom single actions and other pistols, I'm looking for ideas. And if one of you can tell me again how to post pics I'll show my toys I picked up from Gallagher this weekend.

I've always been partial to the Ruger Blackhawk front sight. Here is mine on a Colt SAA: Bob Wright

This is one of Alan Harton's front sights This is one of Aggie01's front sight bases. Very similar to Alan's but has interchangable blades. I've always liked Bowen's Nimrod front sight.

I LIKE THE FRONT SIGHT on the Colt New Frontier sixguns the best of any factory sight. It looks right, it's picture is clear, AND it comes on a COLT NEW FRONTIER........oh....did I already say that...some of 'em do need a serious job of serration sharpening but that is an easy fix.....wheeeeeeeew....got excited writing COLT NEW FRONTIER......better go have a drink and catch my breath.....double bourbon please.....

Now come on this was just on front sights! No need to torture a guy and show the whole gun. That is cruel and unusual punishment. Folks wonder why I fall for wheel guns in this day and age. Wheel guns SA or DA have personality. Don't get me wrong I have seen some nice autos. But they will never stack up with a wheel gun. Some very very nice examples folks. The Bisley's are just out standing. Jeff

Here's mine on my recent Gallagher 44 Mag Bisley....a Weigand front base that he sculpted and slicked up, with a gold bead insert.

There are a lot of great sights available, many of which are posted above. It would be hard for me to pick a favorite. That said, I tend to use two. The first is our home-built post: The second is the 2Dogs' sight done out of stainless. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Building carpal tunnel one round at a time"

Noticed a lack of barrel band front sights............ Im serisouly thinking about one Barrel bands are popular on big boomers, 5 shot 5 colts and up. The barrel band supports the ejector rod and helps it stay stuck to the barrel when recoil gets really heavy. It also adds some mass and weight out to the end of the barrel making it arguably steadier and reduces recoil and muzzle lift some. I personnally think they look classic as all get out on the big guns and scream custom to me, I like them but I would have one on say a 44sp as you dont want or need the weight...
