Make sure you know what you've got!<BR/><BR/> Or do what I did: find a trustworthy gunsmith and ask him to put better sights on your gun. There will be some discussion of just what will work for your application and budget ("shooting bowling pins" and "several months lunch money" in my case) and you'll get something you'll like. I went to <A HREF="http://www.coalcreekarmory.com/" REL="nofollow">these guys</A>; they came highly recommended and I'm happy with their work.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-66738229009279527572009-01-21T14:12:00.000-05:002009-01-21T14:12:00.000-05:00Those are snazzy sights.
