sarcasmn Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 I have the slide on brass pistol site covers for a pair of New Vaqueros. I was wondering if I should file the sites and then file the bottom of the brass covers so they line up square or do people just use the sites as is Quote
Sam Sackett Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 (edited) Personally, I do not file the sights. For our game I don’t believe it’s necessary. I also get a sense that folks are not willing to pay as much for a gun that the sights have been filed when it comes time for resale. Sam Sackett Edited October 21, 2024 by Sam Sackett 5 1 Quote

I first sighted in the pistols with my favorite load, then took material off the bottom of the brass hood so it would be the correct height. Then I took some more material off the original front sight so the brass hood sat down flush on the barrel. 2 Quote
Jackaroo, # 29989 Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 Easiest to just fit them on to the site , THEN file from the top down to the original blade. Worked for me. 2 Quote
Rance - SASS # 54090 Posted October 29, 2024 Posted October 29, 2024 Ok.. reckon I’m the Lone Ranger here.. I had already filed down my front sights.. I installed the brass sight.. filed it down to where I wanted.. and filled in the spaces with JB Weld.. just me 2 Quote
Scarlett Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 If you have the full cover On Target Sights that I offer, you would file the brass from the BOTTOM… then install. The finish and radius is so nice - and there is not a lot of material on the top. Better to remove from the bottom. Hugs! Scarlett 3 1 Quote

Now have to save some coins to get another and try again. Need a “sheepish” smiley emoji! Regards Gateway Kid Quote
