So a few months back I got a new Ruger BlackHawk CarryHawk .45LC/.45 ACP, and had a few issues with it right out of the box that are now resolved, so here's that thread if you want to see it.

Then I made some custom grips out of an Alternative Ivory material that I really liked. Here's that thread.

Now finally I have swapped out the rear V-Notch sight blade for a standard white outline notch sight blade to go with the Hi-Viz Green Fiber Optic front sight I did some time ago, and I'm pretty sure I'm done fiddling around with it. As mentioned in my first issues thread, the front sight block mount assembly is canted a bit, and that made the front sight look really angled using the factory V-Notch rear sight blade. Now with the standard type notch blade I just replaced it with, it is only minutely noticeable and mostly just because I know it is a little canted, but otherwise it looks way straighter than with the V blade. I also laser bore sighted it in and no issue with rear sight centered to front blade being straight down the barrel centered. When I get a chance to shoot it, that'll be the real proof, but having had this similar issue on another revolver some time back, (while annoying) it shot straight as an arrow to the sights.
So here's some final pics of it, and I'm glad to be done messing with it... for now anyway.
