The other successful adjustable rear iron sight is the MMC miniature sight, which some of the guys mentioned in the posts above, that was available in the '70s. It was designed by MMC, which was then located in the little town of Deming, NM, and was made up special for Skeeter Skelton. The sight was featured in an article by Skeeter "For Love of a Long Barreled Luger" in, I believe, Shooting Times. Unfortunately a lot of my reference material is in storage right now, so I can't locate the article. In it, Skeeter told of his build up of a 6" barreled Luger on which he installed this special sight. It was only approximately 1/2-inch wide and also worked well on PPKs. MMC marketed the sight for a time as the "Skelton Special", but it has been out of production for a long time. It was dovetailed into the rear toggle link and was adjustable only in windage, but it was a really slick little sight.
Recently I contacted MMC to see if any old stock was available. Unfortunately MMC has changed hands, there are no more "Skelton Specials" in their old inventory, and they have no plans to re-issue it. Perhaps if more of us bugged MMC so that they would know there is at least a semi-substantial limited market (oxymoron?) they might consider running off a few. One can hope.
