Fiber optic sights for a Ruger Super Redhawk?

I'm wondering if any one makes fiber optic sights for my Ruger Super Redhawk .454? None of my local gun dealers list any and I didn't find any in my Cabela's catalog. My regular iron sights are tough to see in low light conditions, so I'd like to upgrade.

Thanks

Send your whole gun to Trijicon and they will install Nuke sights that shine bright for at least 25 years. I have them put on my .44 mag Mountain gun and could not be happier with the way they work. Can't see any difference when on the gun from the factory sights.

Until it's dark then they glow bright green and work as well as could possibly be hoped for. These are not the same kind of glow that you get from a watch. Where you have to hold it in the light and they glow for an hour or so. These never need light to charge and will glow for 25 years or more with no other power source. I doubt there is a better night sight system available when you consider they don't change any part of the way the gun looks.

If you have ever seen a Luminox Navy Seal watch the trijicon sights are the same brightness and components as the numbers and the hands on those watches.

Midway has some from Marble. I was looking at them too. They have different heights for the caliber gun. If my memory is right it is $20. This is for the front.

Let us know what happens.

I had one for the Super Redhawk that I bought from MidwayUSA. It was in a 3-dot setup. The rear sight came as a blade to replace the factory blade. I think it was called Williams Firesite and it was for the Redhawk but it fit my SRH just fine. Check out MidwayUSA or Natchezz to see if you still can find one. Good luck.

Williams Firesight sells a replacement blade setup for Rugers, I installed one on my fathers H&R slug gun (which uses Ruger rear sights) It works.... but it's UGLY, poorly designed, flops around, up down and back and forth. Once I got it sighted in, I used a blob of black silicone to keep in from flopin'.

I really wouldn't recomend them. [Frown]
