HI guys,
I thought I would post some pics of the new rear sight for my Combat Master. I wanted to put something on my gun with a little more pizzaz than the stock sight. While my frame front strap and MSH are getting treatment I thought I would try my hand at a rear sight. I made these two out of A2 this afternoon... not finished yet, I need to mill the dovetail, dehorn them and drill and tap the mounting hole... I'll update as I get further along... This might take some trickery to git er done.. Sorry about the crap pics I couldn't get my camera to cooperate.. So far... 
Stock sight from Detonics... 
Gibbs solid model import and geometry....

Wow. If I ever get a CombatMaster, I know who to call.
I personally always thought an Ashley Express sight (XS now) would be The Answer for the Detonics. The forward-mounted "rear" sight and short sight radius doesn't lend itself well to really rapid sight alignment for me. |
Thanks, hopefully the second operation will go as smoothly as the first, A2 tool steel is easy to work with and with a little heat treating, will be very durable. I left the center sight cut a little high on this rear sight so that in conjunction with the new front sight the pistol will shoot high. That way all I have to do is mill the rear sight cut deeper,To get the pistol to shoot to point of aim, for me, in theory...
