Peter, There is really no rear sight on this classic 'Army Style' period revolver. It just has the U groove to line up with front sight to aim. You can spend what the revolver cost to have a gunsmith mill and install a rear adjustable sight. A rear sight would make this a sporterized classic.

it would take a lot of modification

Peter, Check with Traditions Firearms to see if slotted for sights at Phone# 860-388-4656 Monday - Thursday 8:00AM-4:30PM EST -- Friday 8:00AM-3:15PM EST --------- google.com/search?q=traditions+1858+rear+sight&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=oa0npQiMVXTa8M%253A%252CRZnZBhI61ZdaMM%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kQxYOaZp7f4xSZY1peQjBpbrI3OMg&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiUlP7bheDjAhWLylkKHRdCDx4Q9QEwAnoECAgQDA#imgdii=LDkAUJFywL98pM:&imgrc=oa0npQiMVXTa8M:&vet=1

Peter - Can it be installed? Sure, given enough money and a competent gunsmith, about anything can be done. But, why would anyone want to install an adjustable sight on a gun with such beautiful, traditional design? These are not tack driver target pistols anyway. You may be better served with a new model polymer semi-auto pistol than this, if you're looking for target accuracy.
