That turned out nice! I'm not normally a fan of soldered on one piece front sights, but the contours of that one look great. I think I know exactly how that gun feels when you work the action. Not light, but right and tight. That gun needs some black leather or maybe a very dark Burgundy (or if you're familiar with Lucchese's black cherry??). Was the rear sight worth the price of admission? I think for what it is the rear sight is spendy but they do take a lot of work to fit correctly and the sight itself is hand made. So short answer is yes. Got a great deal on the gun with the sight installed so this one didn't hurt too bad. Personally I dislike the j frame rear sight installation on the SAs as THAT hump on them makes the whole deal untidy. That's why David developed this option as a much cleaner alternative. I did buy the last two of the rear sights David plans to build and they're in the parts box as we speak. He offered up a bunch of his signature parts he was closing out and I got the lot. I agree on the front sight too. I usually stay away from one piece deals but David encouraged me to stick with this one. Many times I need to listen to the guy that knows. Plus, that front sight (and rear for that matter) says Clements Custom Guns in spades. This revolver really is a signature build.

I thought I got the last 2 pre-war S&W sights he was selling! He's probably sitting on a cigar box full of 'em

Man oh man is that a looker! If Ruger ever offers the Vaquero with a good, adjustable rear sight my wallet is going to be in a world of pain... Isn't a Vaquero with an adjustable rear sight an oxymoron?

Yeah but that sight really does give it that Old School sixgun crank look. It probably shoots good too............

Isn't a Vaquero with an adjustable rear sight an oxymoron? Maybe, but I like having sights I can see and use. And it would go well with the other oxymorons in my safe such a pistol caliber rifles and rifle caliber pistols (.22 LR is a rifle caliber, right? Who's with me? )
