Rossi M92 .357 Sights

[thebadger]

Hello. Just bought a Rossi M92 with 20" Round Barrel in .357. Works well, but the sights could use improvement.
I've been on Steve's Gunz website, and I see he has a lot of different metal sights available.
Does anyone have one style of open sight they would recommend over another? I don't want a scope- metal sights will do, but my eyes are 56 years old.

I'm 55 and like a peep sight. Either a tang sight or receiver mounted, preferably a tang sight.

I have a Rossi 92 357 with a 16 inch barrel that shoots great with factory sights. My wife can't hit anything with it and I can. This of course drives her nuts! I have ordered a Skinner barrel mounted peep sight. I kinda have my doughts with the short sight radius. Might be awhile as I just ordered it. I'm hoping it will let us shoot this gun as well as my 39 mountie with a Skinner on it. Oh yes I'm 53 now!

At 58 I know your pain. I have the same model with a marble tang, works very well.

The stock sights on my 16" SS 45LC got trashed out of the box. Added a Skinner brass front post but added a spot of black paint at the top of the rear of the post. I couldn't see the post in some light. Got brass cause it looks cool on stainless. Put a Williams WDOS on the rear with a square notch blade.

Steve's Skinner peep hybrid might be better than a blade rear but I didn't like the unstreamlined look of it on the receiver. Plus, I got it as a personal defense companion to my Kahr CW9 so the square blade notch and square front post match the sight picture of the handgun I'm already proficient with.

Keep in mind, the Rossi/Legacy rifles have a slightly different size dovetail than most USA made guns. Be sure to point that out when ordering if the vendor offers a choice. Steve does.

I've installed that combination on a 336TS because it offers windage adjustment via set screw rather than drifting with a punch.

Skinner sights does make a variety of sights with the dovetail slot size you will need for your Rossi. Good luck with it.

I have the peep that replaces the safety and I like it fine. I did not have to replace the factory front sight, but a green fiber optic really improves target acquisition in low light situations.

Most of my iron sight shooting over the last 20 years or so has been with S&W revolvers. As a result I am very comfortable with the squared off sights on the Rossi 92 and don't really care for bead sights.

If anyone has a set or two of the Rossi patridge style sights that they don't want, I'd be happy to buy them from you.

Go to Taurususa.com and hit on accessories, then to tang sights. It is a tang sight and inexpensive. I believe one hole has to be drilled and tapped.
