Dusty Chaps, SASS #5925 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Had a cowboy at a match this weekend who had removed the front sights on his revolvers. Said he didn't need them. Well, fine for him. Anyway, is this ok or an "external modification" and illegal? My vote was for "disallowed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, fine for him. Anyway, is this ok or an "external modification" and illegal? My vote was for "disallowed". LEGAL (if they happen to "fall off", there is no requirement to replace them...same applies to removing them on purpose for "Jay Fighter" category). No "competitive advantage" to not having front sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Dog, SASS #20401 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Sights just slow me down as Handlebar Doc once famously said. Legal I believe IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrel Cody Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I had both front and rear fall off my '66 the last stage a couple weeks ago, didn't matter that much I couldn't see the targets for the smoke anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chaps, SASS #5925 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks guys. I also shoot Cowboy Mounted Shooting where removing front sights is specifically not allowed. Guess I thought in SASS We had the same ruling. Standing corrected ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Earp SASS#60034 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 An Outlaw shooter told me "we don't need no stinkin' sights". Randy I believe that may have been me who said that since it is one of my favorite sayings. We can't use them shooting OUTLAW so what good are they? I know of at least two OUTLAWS who have removed the front sights. Larry ( I don't need no stinkin' sights) Earp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
