I Want to scope my new Super Blackhawk for working up handloads.
Maybe 2.5X or red dot.
What do you use or have used for a mount?
No D&T or D&T ?
Photos are a plus !

Failure is not an Option
Jack Weigand is the man to talk to. He has what you need, and he will take the time to help you.

+1 The no drill Weig-a-tinny works well and should you decide that you don't want the scope on the revolver it is easily removed without leaving a couple of holes to be plugged.

Thanks guys.
How about a recommendation for a
red dot or say small 2.5X scope
Failure is not an Option
Either Aimpoint (the best) or Ultradot, if you want a tube-type of red dot sight. Burris Fastfire III is good if you like the reflex type. For a pistol scope the Burris 2.5x is excellent. I use the Aimpoint 9000SC on my bullseye pistols.
Look at griffin hill mount
I have used both, But not Weigand. Have noticed damage to to surface of the gun on mine and others. Now everyone is D&T GW
Weigand for the win. They're fantastic.
As for the optic, I like red dots on revolvers and Ultradot is the way to go IMO.
Here is what the mount looks like installed. You remove the rear sight and use that hold to attach it. In the front, there's a strap that goes around the ejector housing.
Here is what a Blackhawk looks like with it and the Ultradot.

I have the Weigitinny on my 45 Blackhawk and like it.
Weaver made one decades ago, had a yoke that fit around the barrel and attached where the rear sight was located.
I'm curious if a thin sheet of paper between the barrel and mount could be done to avoid marking things up?
