Hugh,

Sign me up if you can recess a good modern adjustable sight into the toggle. I don't care for the long overhang on the S&W sight on your Armadillo gun.

Since our last communication, I've been examining adjustable rear sights with the dream of adapting them to the Luger toggle without a lot of overhang to the rear. The Luger toggle link is only about 1" long by 0.5" wide. The movable part of a Bomar sight is about 1.3" long and might work well (with a small overhang) but it is 0.45" wide, probably too wide to be recessed into the toggle. The S&W sight is only 0.25" wide but 2.7" long. It might work OK if the flexible part were high strength spring steel which could be shortened to 1" or so, but I don't think it is.

Brownells doesn't have anything that looks promising. Colt put a very compact adjustable sight on their pre-war national match .45s. It would be great if you could get one of these (probably way too much expense).

Oh well, just dreaming--that's a lot easier than producing hardware as you and Ted do. Keep up the good work.
