H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 A really simple bit of wondering here. If asked, would the Colt Custom Shop make a Sheriff's model with New Frontier style sights? The reasons I would want such a beast are 2 fold... 1. It would pair well with my NF Buntline. 2. Sheriff's models are C&R. Probably charge way too much money for it if they would even agree to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilli GaHoot Galoot Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Back about 100 years ago that was a semi-popular conversion using a S&W adj rear sight. Bowen Classic used to offer that service, others probably still do https://www.bowenclassicarms.com/workshop.html#Retro3840Vaquero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I would suggest Peacemaker Specialists, Munden's Six Gun Magic or others that might be suggested if you post your question on the Colt Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Seems like a NF type of front sight would be too tall for a Sheriff length barrel, as far as POA/POI goes. Kind of hard to shave those down as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of hard to shave those down as well. Well, that's why I was thinking if it was even possible. The frame of the NF is different from the frame of the regular Peacemaker, and I don't know if you could somehow get NF rear sights on a standard Sheriff frame. I suppose I will give them a call. Although, perhaps it would be more cost effective to take a regular Sheriff and contact one of those customizers that people have mentioned. But then it's no longer C&R after it's modified. Oh, the questions and wonderings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 The first answer you got was the only correct answer you're gonna get... (unless by some quirk of circumstance the Colt Custom Shop answered here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
