I fire all my older revolvers-Colt Official Police, S&W M1917, Colt M1917-with a regular sight picture-top of the blade level with the rear sight, 6 o'clock hold. Alaways thought the old halfmoon sight represented the fashion of the time,plus whatever the tooling allowed. Frederick Russell Burnham used a cut down Indian Head cent for the front sight of his Remingon M1875 in 44-40.
