    I had looked at one at The Gator Den the Nationals he closed his business. I believe it was made by Rich Cross. Very nice sight, but to me wasn't that much of an improvement over the Pietta factory sight. I did buy a replacement front sight from Nick as well as the "ramp" for hiking up the rear for a 100yrd zero. It's working very well for me! I believe Nick sold all of his stock to Lodgewood.

    Thanks I will look into the ramp perhaps that will be a better option then a full replacement.

    Are we referring to the "ramp" that attaches to the sight base to raise the rear sight to shoot 100yards without actually flipping it up? I have seen many of these on the line, but, I am under the impression that these are not legal for N-SSA competition as they are not part of the original Smith design....

    I think I have a new Rich Cross rear sight that I got for my old smith but never used.
    Also should have some if the taller slides that you can drill a pep in.

    Ben,

    Those ramps are allowed; same thing as dropping a washer or any other spacer in to hold the ramp at a consistent height for 100 yard shooting.
