Need a NM FT Rear Sight

[AxeHandle]

Looking for a quality rear sight, like the Bowen Target sight, for a Flattop NM Blackhawk.... Need a taller front too. Can you guys point me in the right direction?

You guys aren't helping here.... Did find a Bowen Rough Country for the FT but it was out of stock...

Bowen has the front sight blades I need too..

Guessing this Ruger rear sight isn't what you need, AxeHandle, or you'd have already found it.

Other than Bowen, does anyone make rear sights better than Ruger's?
Dave Lauck used to make these.

The original Ruger sight on the FT 44 Special is as good as a Ruger sight can get. All steel but with vague windage adjustments.

I just got charged for 2 backordered sights from Bowen, and I think one of them is for the flat top.

And boy, do I wish he (or someone) still did. I'd looked at that sight for a few years on his website, thinking "some day, I'll get a short barreled flat top and put one of those on it."

When I got a flat top for a project late last year and tried to order one of them, Dave replied he was out of stock and not making any more.


I've got to take the words "some day" out of my vocabulary.

I believe there is a fella on this very forum, whom makes and sells sights, that was working on a version of his own.

You're probably thinking of Fermin Garza (2 Dogs), leadhound. Here are a couple of threads discussing his "Monolithic" rear sight.

Fermin's website is: fermincgarza.com/

Sorry, AxeHandle, for highjacking your post!

Any idea what the status of Mr. Garza’s mono rear sight is? Very interesting.

If you PM your phone number to Fermin, he's good about responding.
