Re: New Member, Central Texas

Unfortunately my wife once heard me say to a shooting buddy (over a cold one or two, have to admit), that all my guns will shoot better than I can shoot them. She immediately chimed in with "buy cheaper guns." So that's why mostly ARMSCOR that I've bought lately. Have to admit they too sho...

Re: New Member, Central Texas

Last two, just for comparison sights on my Standard and the Mark 1. Pistol is a real shooter, this 3" target from 7 yards with no adjustment of the rear sight.

Thank you again! Joe

Three more, from the rear, and two oblique views.

Hopefully the rear view is detailed enough to show the sight was not attacked by someone with a Dremel tool, too smooth and factory-appearing especially with the radius between the two angles.

Re: New Member, Central Texas

Hello thank you very much for your prompt replies. First time trying to upload pics to a forum, hope it works. Here are left and right views of the front sight. If these work I have a couple of others, oblique views, etc. and will do them. Thank you again, I certainly appreciate any thoughts. Joe
