I've been itching to get outside to test out these Warren rear aperture sights... finally, it was nice enough to get out and play!
Started out with the 7/32 rear sight on the Single-Six 5.5" barrel and the 9/32 on the Gov't 6 7/8" barrel. Initial sight in was done at 20 yards.
Both were easy to get used to, though I had to bottom out my elevation on both firearms; I use the fiber optic sight to either center on what I want to hit or just hold right under my point of impact. These fiber optic sights work well for my aging eyes!
At first I had trouble seeing my impacts with the 5.5" barrel due to the smaller 7/32 & shorter radius combo, especially when I moved back to 43 yards.
I eventually switched/swapped them at the range and put the 9/32 on the shorter radius 5.5" Single-Six and the Gov't now wears the 7/32 rear aperture.
Most of the .22 ammo was Federal bulk pack though I tried some Blazer and Norma TAC-22 as well. I was pleased that there were no malfunctions in the auto-loader but then I didn't expect there to be except for one stove-pipe (approx 500 rounds today & no mis-fires).
I was easily able to clean the berm of offending pieces of clay pigeons & made some 12 gauge shot hulls dance
