    ROA target sights?

    Hi, has anyone heard of different/better target sights available for the ROA, or are the standard ones, the only ones available?

    Thanks for any replies in advance.

    would guess you can get them as the OA is based on the Super Redhawk if memory serves.
    I'm thinking of getting mine drilled for a scope rail and having a red dot on quick release mounts.

    Was it the Redhawk, or the Blackhawk?

    Yep, you're right I think it was the Blackhawk.

    If I recall correctly, the Redhawk is the bigger, heavier frame, for the .44 magnum. The Blackhawk is for the .357, and .45 Colt.

    Redhawk and corresponding "super" is a double action revolver. Blackhawk and corresponding "super" is a single action revolver.

    Curious, what don't you like about ROA sights?

    Hi Simon, there isn`t actually anything I dislike about the ROA sights, I think they suit the gun very well regarding size, and ease of adjustment but..
    I have thought about attempting to fit sights from a FWB model 65 air pistol,(or similar) because I would find it easier to get a clearer sight picture, quicker, when shooting the ROA in rapid fire comps

    Also I read somwhere on the net, (I can`t find it again but I THINK it was on a U.S.A. web site/forum) that there are better/bigger target sights available that will fit the ROA, and I believe it was just the rear sight that was changed.
