Seems to me that the Quinns have tested one. http://www.gunblast.com/Bighorn89.htm

Interesting link, Hobie. Are those sights available anywhere, or are they proprietary?
Thank you,

I'm angling for one for Christmas ... but no guarantees yet.

I'm not well-heeled but I am saving for one. If only I could avoid the other temptations!
