I got tired of my 15-2 rear sight being loose as a goose so I came up with a temperory solution. I pulled out a set of feeler gauges and found a size that would slip under the front of my rear sight thus lightly jaming it into place. So using snips I made a small shim for it from the feeler guage. This removed 90% of my wiggle and the sight is pretty much dead on.

Granted I would love to buy a new sight but those are no longer made by Millit. Dan wesson however is selling some made by another vcompany forr around 50 bucks shipped has anybody tried these?

Bowen also offers sights for the Ruger Blackhawk shich will fit Dan Wesson's.  I have not tried those or the ones now offered by DW but thought I would pass it on!

Necessity is the mother of invention they say. Good idea.
