Belly Gun front sight suggestions
17/05/21 11:00 AM

Im looking for some suggestions and I need you guys to think outside the box on this one. I came across a used SAA clone, its a bit of a beater in the looks department but mechanically sound, so Ive decided to turn it into a "Sheriff's Model" of sorts. Im removing the ejector rod and shortening the barrel to about 2 3/4". I might even open up (cut off the front) the trigger guard for something like a Fitz Special.

Once I cut off the barrel, I could just leave it without a front sight or re-use the original; but Im thinking Id like something "special". My first thought was to use half of a 1880-90s coin. Im thinking a Nickel, Dime, or even Penny depending on what I can find thats worn enough to have little value but still be recognized. It doesnt have to be a US coin. NO its NOT illegal.

Im open to other suggestions. I seem to remember hearing one of you guys talk about a double rifle with a diamond set into the front sight. So whatdaya think?

Got any ideas?
