I replaced the original fragile (bent) factory adjustable sight on my 70's vintage HP with a white line Millet adjustable, myself. Wasn't any need to change the front staked on sight.

Not necessarily. Have Armson OEG's (sold by Trijicon) that you have to use both eyes because you couldn't look though the one inch tube. It's referred to the Biondon Principal.

Been using red dot sights on almost all my pistols, PPC's and bows, since the early 80's. At that time, I used Armson OEG's (distributed by Trijicon), until they were discontinued. They were chosen...

Most of my deer are taken with archery equipment. Few, with muzzle loaders. Occasionally, I'll harvest one with my Marlin 1894 and cast.

Both the newer Lyman Mag 25 and the RCBS Easy Melt (ladle pot) quit working due to the electronics. Was able to repair the Lyman, myself. Took it apart and found a fuse holder with a blown glass...

Have had a red dot 1" tube sight (Armson OEG and a UltraDot) on my compound since the 80's. Not only good for old eyes, it's better in low light. Tough finding mounts but they are out there. ...
Have had the P320 RX Compact, going on 5 years. This is the version with the factory installed Romeo 1 micro reflex and suppressor height night sights. It's not a small pistol, by any means, for a...
