Folks--A friend gave me one of those "One Ragged Hole" sights and I installed it on a KS458N Ruger. My take is that it "acquires easily" but is not accurate for target or sillywet use. I still shoot that gun occassionally, but I've come to prefer the Hi-Viz type front sight. It is not as good for target or sillywet use as a Patridge either, but I find it easier than the "Ragged Hole" sight.--Shuz
It's all chicken, even the beak!
Never really thought about WHY .... I .... feel so strongly about these sights until this thread. They have put .... FUN .... back into gunnin for me.
Just Right!

I like a fiber optic round top blade up front and V-notch express type rear sight.For hunting I like aimpoints or holosight.I had anti-glare coating put on my presription glasses and that helped quite a bit with the fuzziness with dots.Now that I have to wear glasses I am using dot sights the most when I hunt with a handgun.I look over the glasses if I'm using iron sights as my near vision is still good.I know where your coming from 44man,I wish I could see like I used to.I had very good eyes when I was younger and now that I'm in my 50's its getting harder to shoot as good as I want to.I'm thinking about lazik surgery or something.Having to wear glasses the past few years has made me realize how lucky I was not to need them in the past.The ghost ring set looks interesting but I'd have to try them out on somebody else's gun before I'd buy.I get enough peep sight use having to look through one on my bow and they don't work all that good when it gets dark but gives me a consistant anchor and that is needed in archery and I've harvested more bucks with a bow than guns and too old to change now.Fiber optics came in the nick of time for me.
I have a set of the One Ragged Hole blades. The smaller one resides on the Single Six and the larger on the Redhawk. Both revolvers have a fiber optic front sight. So far so good. I can aquire a good sight picture. Havent shot them enuf yet to evaluate accuracy. But they do appear quite rugged. The blade is just as beefy as the factory blade I removed.

I have not seen the One Hole Sight,but it appears to be a peep or ghost ring. Most old geezers would like them. If you wear bifocals/reading glasses(If 40 thereabouts or more,most likely you do or need to)find some print you cant read with naked eye. Curl your index finger real tight so that it makes a small hole. Put that small hole against your eye and look through it and you can now read the print with your naked eye. That small hole forces your eye to focus--something it has lost the ability to do--thus the glasses needed. I was having real good luck with peep sight on my Sheridan and got the smallest aperture they made. Worked well for several years and then in past year or two,couldn't use that small a peep and had to move to larger aperture. If you wear bifocals,switching to progressive lens will drive you crazy for a couple weeks,but in my case it was worth the effort to adapt to them. From the name would seem Starmetal invented these sights.
I would love to find a fiber optic front site for my Super blackhawk max.
