Keith front sight

[Mister Heavyhand]

How can you not love Elmer Keith?
Anyone has experience with his long-range sight? The one with the three gold bars. I have never seen one. Mr. Keith mentioned that S&W sold revolvers with this sight. I venture to say that they are R-A-R-E.

Only in pictures. I agree they are beyond cool!

They remind me of reading a survey level rod. Same idea. No batteries required.

Very nice! So with either green fill even with the top of the rear notch, does the green completely fill the notch? I like it.

How does it work in the field? I think that very few people today actually shoot at the distances that Elmer Keith did. Think running yotes at 125 yards. I believe your sight is what Elmer Keith called a Baughman (look up Wiley Clapp for history). The advantage was not snagging on the draw from your holster vs. a Patridge style. Thanks for sharing.

This was someone's home made version of long range sight.
