This fixed sight ROA has a square notch at the rear of the flat sight groove.
What shape is the rear notch on some the other C&B revolver models that have a top strap and a fixed rear sight or groove like the 1858 Remington, Rogers & Spencer or other?
Any difference between the manufacturers?
Do they simply have a round bottom groove in the frame or is it square/flat or Vee shaped like the Colt hammer sight?
What about on most cowboy cartridge revolvers, is it round, square or Vee?

mykeal June 2, 2011, 11:18 AM The Starr Single Action has no rear sight in the frame or in the hammer.
Noz June 2, 2011, 11:55 AM You must remember that the Ruger is a modern gun and the sights are a modern design.
SAA June 2, 2011, 11:11 PM Wow, mykeal! You went all out. Those are great for reference. Thanks!
arcticap June 4, 2011, 03:49 PM I watched a Youtube video of the Pietta 1873 Colt SAA clone that has a fixed square notch that looks very much like the Ruger Old Army's.
