oversize iron sights
I have a friend that wants Iron sights that are extra large. BIG. Can't find anything online.

Does anyone know of anything out there for extra large pistol sights?

Please don't reply and tell me about how great a scope, dot, or reflex sight is, I've been through that with him already.... he's even considering custom made but they would be ridiculously expensive.

Any leads or suggestions appreciated.

About all the extra big sights are going to do for him is cover up more of the game or target. He's your friend, and I have a couple just like him, but in this case, just let it go for a while. His vision will get to the point he'll either change his mind or he'll have to quit.

Sometimes, it just doesn't pay to continue arguing.

Toward last, Elmer Keith had 1/4 inch wide front sights, and wider rear sights installed on his favorite revolvers. I thought about the same thing. But then I had my cataracts taken care of; and I don't need to.

Pa Frank, call Gary Reeder or go to his website and click on the "ask Gary" tab. I am confident he may be able to give you what you need. Don't overlook the fiber optic style iron sights. They work wonders for people with eye issues.

Yawn, sounds like more horshit psychology from the resident genius rather than a straight answer; but that's your regular fare, isn't it?

I actually do use red dots Frank, it's just not a suitable option for my Freedom Arms.

Thanks Woodrow, I'll give Gary a call.
