I'd like to see some recommendations for modifications, or replacements, that can be made to the sights on a Ruger Blackhawk.
I'd like to rule out, at the outset, scopes and opticals or anything that requires a rail. I mount those sorts of things on carbines. I want to keep my pistols holster-able.
Some background: Just added a Blackhawk convertible (.357/9mm) to my armory. Great gun. It doubles my suitable ammunition profile (was 9mm & .45 ACP, now also includes .38 Special and .357 magnum). And I think it's going to be a great trail gun for horseback. Shoots straight. Looks cool. All that and a bag o' chips.
There's just one thing. I'm a spoiled old man. All my other pistols are semi-autos with either big white dots or tritium sights.
I'd like the sight picture on this new smoke wagon to be as easily ... or at least more easily ... acquirable.
I've heard White Out[tm] recommended, and will try that at the range. But I'm not thinking that's a long-term solution suitable for trail carry.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
