Wow! That is impressive, Rick. Maybe that sight on Ben's pistol was really good for
the young eyes that it was probably intended for.
I have a Rem RB 7x57 which has a really tiny front sight.
When I was a teen, I didn't even notice that it was small, just used it. By the time I was in my
50s, it was a bit of a challenge, but I could still shoot 1" groups at 100 yds with that gun.
I haven't taken it out for a few years, but I could still shoot with it before my cataract new lenses,
no idea now. My problem now is that I can see the front sight on rifles but on the middle sight, it
is just so blurred as to be hopeless, cannot even locate the typical notch. I need to try my Lyman
Hawkeye pinhole attachment with this type of rifle sight, it might let me see the middle sight (barrel
mounted rear sight).
RicinYakima - that sounds like my little Colt. Good sights, nice front and good notch, must be a '27 style,
I forget the exact year, just remember it is from the 1920s some time.
