Charter Arms Pitbull 40

[gb6491]

I wouldn't one with the sight canted like that, but this is one way to adjust windage on fixed sights revolvers. I've heard S&W smacks their revolvers with a babbit bar to accomplish windage regulation. You can also open the rear sight window on one side to correct windage, but I don't know if any manufacturers do this.

I once tried smacking a Charter Arms front sight to give it a cant to the left, bit I ended up breaking the front sight off

In hindsight, that was right up there with this:

Filing in a dovetail and installing a SIG front sight I had laying around yielded better results

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Oh man that dentist picture hurt to even look.

Yeah, I could of done without the dentist picture too.

I gotta look up Babbit bar, I feel like I should know what that is but I'm drawing a blank, not enough coffee yet I reckon.

I'm looking into having dovetails milled into a few of my fixed front sight handguns so I can go to XS Express Sights but then the whole barrel is off center a dovetail doesn't help sooooo...still waiting to hear from LGS...sigh. AND did you say you filed the dovetail...you da' man

I appreciate your kind words I did use a file, but though the windage on the Undercover is spot on and the sight has stayed on, I'm thinking my work here is more "Bubba" than "da' man".

Well I wrote the book on Bubba and that definitely ain't Bubba. That turned out nice. And a lot of work and filing. Did you have to reduce the ramp height to get the elevation right?

I think we'll have to compare Bubba notes
I didn't adjust it for elevation. I found it shoots low if you align the top of the SIG sight with the top of the groove in the frame, but it shoots spot on if you just settle the white dot in the groove and aim over top of it. That works well enough for me.

2 FOR 2...SIGH...and NOT in a good way

2nd Charter Arms Pitbull 40 came in and the front sight/barrel wasn't canted to the left...it was canted to the right
Refund will be issued as soon as they receive the 2nd one back from the LGS.
Really wanted a 40 s&w revolver...with a short barrel...and a straight front sight...

Love shooting 44 Special in my S&W 629-2 4" 44 Mag Mountain Revolver.
Bad news is 44 Special ammo tends to be stupid expensive
A quality 40 S&W revolver, especially if it doesn't need moon clips, would be of interest to me.

I'm giving Greg a damn good enough, functional Bubba+.
