Since my near sightedness is getting worse as I age, I've been looking for a solution that allowed me to shoot with my glasses on.  This my solution so far.  I haven't shot it yet but I hope I can keep up with the old geezers and their $2000 1911's at the Bulls eye range.

 

The mount is a Weigand.  I had several old shrouds, this being my least favorite, I had it tapped.  The red dot is a Redfield Accelerator.

 

Can't wait to get to the range.DSC_0710.jpgImage Enlarger

I've been using a Fastfire on my Buckmark for several years, although I shoot over iron sights about half the time

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Nice looking set-up there.  It should serve you well.  Great photo and a nice looking revolver.

Finally got to the range.

Three holes in upper right are sighting in, then seven shots.  

25 yrds from a rest.

I think I've got a keeper.  Now I just have to learn to do it like that off hand.new-sight.jpgImage Enlarger

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....
