I'm having difficulty obtaining a consistant sight picture with my Ruger .32mag stainles single six 4-5/8" barrel, fixed rear sight, smooth front sight blade six gun. I am comfortable with the grip, weight, hand-loadings, etc.
My groups are not as small as they could be because I cannot see a clear and repeatable sight picture due to the smooth and shiny front sight blade. So I end up enlarging the groups because I'm not seeing the same aim picture each time.
I think this is a very accurate gun which shoots to my point of aim. But I know it would group smaller from a machine rest. But not only do I not have a machine rest, I will not be buying one.
My 4" model 10 Smith (also fixed sights) has a stepped rear edge to the front sight which is much easier to see well. My groups are very tight indeed with this police revolver.
Yes, I'm resting my forearms on a solid rest in both cases.
Here is a photo of both front sight blades. What do you Cowboy shooters do to get a clear sight picture with your SA revolvers?
