I don't know it's value but it's interesting that academics are looking for solutions.

Actually, it was 1979 Ernie! :eek: Damn, was it that long ago? :confused: One of us is getting old! :D

Yes, I had a notch just like that. I used a dovetail cutter to notch out my Gold Cup rear sight notch (Yes, I used to shoot .45ACP Gold Cups back then :)).

I determined the sharp edges of the notch would fade away, so I sold the sight to Ernie. :)
