I'm old and shoot open sights all the time - I go hunting with them. I can't use apertures, I have an eyesight issue that blurs out the centre of the aperture - so I use Vee sights mounted forward...

First question. Is it .45? If yes, then your quest is hopeless and you should give it to me. :P If not, "Skinner" type sights are aavailable for rail mounting, may or may not work for your...
