Recently picked up a new to me Ruger new model blackhawk in 45 colt. It's stainless with the 7 1/2 inch barrel. I fired some handloads consisting of the rcbs 270 SAA cast bullet running about 1050 fps and it shot about a foot, 12 inches high at 25 yards, with the rear sight cranked all the way down.
Obviously I need a taller front sight blade. This model has the blade pinned in so it would be simple to replace.
Does anyone know where I can buy taller front sight blades for this resolver? Brownells has one but I'm pretty sure its the same height as the one curently on the gun which won't help. I can make one out of 1/8 inch mild steel flat bar but I'm being lazy.
Thanks for any help you can provide. 308w
