ABSTRACT:
A rear sight for a hand gun adapted to withstand high recoil forces associated with the use of magnum cartridges, in particular at the maximum elevation of the sight for long range shooting. The sight comprises a body pivoted at its front end and including, at its rear end a vertical slot and horizontal dovetail. A flat rear blade having a sighting slot is carried in the horizontal dovetail and is spring loaded at opposite ends. This blade is adjustable for windage and locked in position by means of a roller engaging detents in the head of the windage screw. A vertical slot in the body accommodates a hardened windage plate threaded to receive the windage screw and for entrapping the elevation screw. The elevation screw is of relatively substantial length accommodated in a tapped hole at the rear of the frame, rear of the cylinder and above the firing pin hole. The body of the sight lies in a slot in the top strap of the frame.
