That's kinda unique... don't know how it would fair in inclement weather. Did you remove the rear sight on your Blackhawk? Does this thing act as a rear sight or does it just help you focus on your existing sights? Not sure I understand how it works other than giving you a non-adjustable hole to see through...
I can see me folding it into position only to find it's crusted over with ice or snow during our flintlock season here... I could always slip a cover over a peep if necessary.
