- Yellowstone (John Dutton (Kevin Costner)) — ran iron sights
We note what each gun ran on screen — iron sights, or the optics and lights it carried. Where we stock a match (or its current successor), expand the row for the product and its price. Everything that fits this firearm is in the full lists below.
Compatible Optics
The Ruger Blackhawk isn't factory optics-ready: it has no slide cut or rail to mount a sight directly, so there's nothing to fit. (Aftermarket gunsmithing can add a mount; we only list factory-fit options.)
