Thanks Richard I did come across that in my search does anyone know if Rich Cross made a sight for the pietta
Jesse
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.

I have some that were from the same manufacturer as the Gator Den. Contact me by PM

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.
