A Little Gun Rap From Dan (Multi-Post) – Part 59

Everybody is always talking about quick target acquisition with their pistols. They are using all sorts of high vis sights, lasers, red dots, etc. However, you never hear about a Skinner Peep Sight, which is one of the easiest and most accurate to use.

A couple of weeks ago I asked Andy Larsson of Skinner Sights about this, and if he had ever mounted a peep on a pistol. The answer was “Yes”. The photo shows where this can be done.

I’m going to be trying one on a somewhat different pistol – Henry Repeating Arms Mare’s Leg, but that is a different “animal”. I would like to someday try one of these on a 22 and 9mm pistol to see how it performs. I’m sure it would do just as well, if not better than the open iron sights with military dots, fiber optics and so on.

Anyway, this is something you can think about.

Next question – what about airguns. Bet they would be super on a Umarex USA, Inc. RWS Diana.

Until next time, shoot safe and have a great day of plinking.

Andy Larsson at Skinner Sights just completed installing a new rear Skinner Peep Sight on my Henry Repeating Arms Mare’s Leg. I used my Henry Brass Hammer kit for the first time to remove the original rear open sight. I’m also going to go to a smaller aperture in rear Peep, as the one that is in it now shows be everything, including the front sight hood. My Henry H001TLP carbine has a smaller aperture, and I think that is the size in which I’m going to start.

I’m really anxious to give this a try, and should give me some more information for articles, postings and a video. Stay tuned for all of that.

Until next time, shoot safe, and have a great day of plinking.

Today I got a couple of new throwing knives from Knife Country USA. Both with an SCZO, with one model being a Rite Edge, and the other kind of generic.

The both did fairly well on throwing, as I stuck both on the first throw.

They have good weight, and lengths of 11 and 12 inches, with an 1/8″ thickness.

When these do bounce back they come pretty hard, and especially if they are sliding back on ice, as we have now.

I know they would not live up to the standards of what Adam Čeladín would be using, but they work, and have pretty good balance.

I’ll be doing some more experimenting with them, and the others, including two more models that I have coming – one is another Hibben.

I’m using a new Plano waterproof marine case to store my knives, which will make it easier for storage and carrying them to where they will be used.
