New to Single shot, sighting question

[MarkER]

I love the gun but it somewhat bothers me that you can't effectively use the iron sights without cocking the hammer first. Are there any alternatives for a modified hammer that would allow target acquisition prior to cocking?

I've never really given this any thought because all 4 of mine are either scoped or wear a red dot. I can't milk the accuracy potential out of the rifle with factory irons.To answer your question, I'm not aware of any after market hammer options.

I dont like the factory irons. I also put a red dot on mine and it works great.

Check the top of the page, at the right in the blue area. There is a link for Skinner sights. A new Peep Sight with a higher front sight might cure your issue, but give them a call, they can discuss it with you. I have Skinner sights on my Big Boy Carbine. HIGH Quality, very accurate and nice sight picture. I couldn't see well enough with the Buckhorns, but the Skinner's cured that ill.

They look good:

These 25 yard groups were the first fired with the new sights:
