***** This photo translates to a static image the difficulty of hitting a moving target against a cluttered background.... the challenge to bring sights to the eye without the anchor of a buttstock.... a split-second to snap your eye from target to front sight, (with rear sight attached).... while tracking target across a field of visual noise. Camera focused on the background, it nevertheless illuminates difficulty of holding front sight against the kaleidoscope of motion behind it.... then timing squeeze to put the bullet where the target will be when the bullet gets there. Without light on black sights, black sights grow blind on a moving target against a mottled background. The Ronnie Wells/Fermin Garza sight has options of greater versatility than regular irons. Some shooters prefer a wide rear notch to put more light around the front sight. This generally favors speed, and for some shooters plainly makes it easier to read their sight picture. For others, this shooter included, a rear notch which nearly hugs the rear sight flattens the PLANE of the front & rear sight. David Bradshaw |

Haha. Ya i have a few customers each week that need info on the rear sights and this is a good platform for it. So i went looking for it and bumped it to make it easier for them to find. R |

RONNIE/FERMIN: TRIED TO MOUNT A WHITE OUTLINE RS ON A 1976 LIBERTY SHORTY 357 BLACLHAWK BUT THE RUGERS REAR SIGHT BASE IS TOO THICK AND YOUR SIGHT WILL NOT SLIP ON (IT WILL ON ANOTHER RUGER RS). SO I AM THINKING OF FILING THE BACK OF THE RUGER RS UNTIL YOURS WILL SLIP ON, ? ? ? WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I have installed several of these and have had to do some minor fitting on one or two. I ordered some spare rear sight assemblies on eBay for next to nothing just so I didn’t get myself into a tight spot but it was easy enough to hand fit.

WILL TRY TO WORK ON IT TODAY, SHUD NOT TAKE A LOT OF FILING TO GET IT TO FIT. |

As consistent as the grip frame hole location is, the rear sight profile is definitely not. Some of my RW/Fermin rears fit like a glove, others rely on the set screw to keep them snug and stationary. That's a function of Ruger variation, not the RW/Fermin piece. Agree with having a few spare factory sights to replace those out of spec. They're not expensive. Having lived with these for a few months now, they're awesome. I'll pull up a sight picture and won't remember if it's a Bowen or RW until I check for the set screw. |

Quick question to those that know more than I; Bowen is building me a Nimrod at the moment on a NM Bisley. If I decide down the road I’d like to try some of the 2DW rear sights, can I simply swap them out? In other words, Bowen’s rears and 2DW’s rears are all compatible with NM Bisley’s I presume? Many thanks

THE BOWEN REAR SIGHTS ARE BUILT DIFFERENTLY THAN THE RUGER REAR SIGHTS, I WOULD BE SHOCKED IF YOU COULD "jerry rig" TO ACCOMODATE THE RDW/2 DOGS REAR SIGHT. I HAVE QUITE A FEW BOWEN REAR SIGHTS MOUNTED ON REVOLVERS AND HAVE YET TO FEEL THE URGE NOR NEED TO SWITCH TO THE RDW/2 DOGS REAR SIGHT SYSTEM.

Many thanks Yeah you just swap the entire sight. The 2Dogs blade won’t fit the Bowen sight body but nbd. |

Thanks gentlemen. I meant to ask if the base assemblies are interchangeable, not the actual rear blades themselves.

Are these sights still available?
I ordered one several weeks ago and haven't received it.
Emails and phone calls go unanswered.
