I recently purchased a Precision Center BFR from a fellow member here on the forum. It is a .44mag, bisley grip with 7 1/2" bbl and a Bushnell scope. Its a beautiful piece. My problem is, no matter how many times Ive tried over the years, I just cant do a scoped handgun. Mostly because of portability on horseback, but there are other reasons as well.

So Ive removed the scope. I have a quality gunsmith here local who can drill and tap the barrell for a front sight of my choice. I can purchase SBH rear sights anywhere, and they fit BFR.

My idea is to either get a standard Ruger rear sight and buy a one-ragged-hole blade for it, or get a Bowen V-blade sight. Im really leaning more toward the Bowen. For the front, I want a gold bead. That setup seems to work best for my eyes.

Any advice? Especially choosing a front sight? Am I missing anything in my research? Any feedback and advice would be appreciated.
