help on sight selection BH

[.45Cole]

I am sending a NM BH to clements for a roddin' and indicated that I wanted bowen's rough rider english V instead of regular sights. I would like to come on target quicker and asked that the front sight post be slimmed down 25%. He responded that V's are only to be used with bead sights. I have good (relatively) eyesight and don't see why this wouldn't work. Any thoughts or insights would be greatly appreciated!

being how he has put together more guns than most I would take his advice

The thing is, the elevation is only exact if you have a bead in front of the Vee. Admittedly, you can do OK with the blade, but not as well, and if your eyesight deteriorates (that is, you get 40+ like many of the rest here) it will be even tougher. If it's more important to you to have a narrow blade, maybe you want a more stock style of rear sight. The Vee and bead really do go together.

Depends on you and also what you want "that" handgun to do.

I also have trouble with bead sights just from a changing point of impact perspeective on gold beads from sunlight.

But I use a large peep sight for direct, fast action work. You have to be shooting it all the time if you want to range with it though.

So sights are a very personal thing.

What's roddin mean.

roddin'-greatly improve (I'll call webster and let them know of their mistake)
roddin'-6 shot conversion package w/ octagon barrel, script, free spin, few others.
I'll post pics when it gets back (in a year or so!) don't worry thought, I have a back-up just like it (BH)!
