New sights for boring revolver
I installed these sights an a 90's model Ruger Redhawk that belonged to my Father-in-law. Wow, what a difference these make compared to the factory sights! Very easy to pick up with the eye, and easier to get on target. I only gave them 4 stars because it's been too cold out to shoot, but I am sure they will adjust to be spot on.

Good sights that have lasted, see review
I swapped these sights from my factory gp100 sights. These sights go on very easy and it would likely take an average person to get these swapped out in a short period of time (e.g. a minute or two). I noticed that my grouping tightened up some and my target picture acquisition was much quicker. One can make use of these sights in near dusk and dawn conditions and still shoot accurately. Lastly the I have had this particular set of sights on my gp100 for almost 6 years now and they are still going strong. I have put over 9000 rounds of 38 and at least 4000 rounds of 357 through my pistol and the sights are as accurate today as when I placed it on there. The reasoning I gave these sights a 4 star instead of a 5 star rating is that I like having very robust sights. This stems from my time when I was active duty and have seen how soldiers treat their weapons from time to time. The front sight in this particular instance, to me, appears to be the weak point if one were to drop it from a medium to high distance onto a hard surface. I don't believe they are flimsy, yet the design should make the user be careful of their front post. I have yet to break mine, but I also have not allowed it to be dropped.

Positively love these sights, want more
I got these in couple days, and installed them basically in my lap with a small screwdriver. Very easy. But the real deal was that I shot better at the range because my 61 year old eyes could easily see the sights, especially the front sight. Stock Ruger front sight has red block, but it does not go all the way to the top, so sometimes I sighted on top of red blocks sometimes on top of stainless sight, depending on background. Now I want to see if I can find a set for my Mark I bull barrel .22.
