Griffon Hill

Griffon Hill manufactures precision red dot sight mounts for Ruger revolvers, designed and built in Spokane, Washington. Their approach solves a real problem: how to add a modern optic to a revolver without permanently altering it.

Ruger revolver owners face a choice: live with aging iron sights, drill holes in the frame, or accept loose, poorly-fitting aftermarket mounts. Griffon Hill's mounts use the gun's existing pin hole and frame geometry—no drilling required.

"I love the mount. The shims that came with it—no movement side to side at all. Once the original pin from the sight was installed it was locked down, no movement at all. This is a rock solid mount." — David G., shooting a .357 Maximum Blackhawk

Griffon Hill manufactures mounts for:

• •Ruger Blackhawk Flattop (Docter/Noblex footprint) — $70
• •Ruger Blackhawk, Super Blackhawk, Redhawk, Super Redhawk, GP100, Security Six, Single Six (multiple footprints) — $75–$85

Mounts accommodate red dots from Holosun, Burris Fastfire, Vortex, Swampfox, and other popular optics with Docter/Noblex, RMR, or Delta Point Pro footprints.

Unlike single-screw designs that rely on shims and luck, Griffon Hill mounts use:

• •Precision machining — Tool and die quality. Customers who are gunsmiths and machinists comment on the fit and finish.
• •Steel cross pin — Locks the mount solid once the existing Ruger pin is installed
• •Included shims — For perfect alignment without epoxy or tin foil workarounds
• •Slotted screws — Designed to prevent over-tightening and snapped heads; they stress to 2/3 yield strength before the screw yields
• •Thread locker — Multiple systems working together for stability through recoil

Customer reviews paint a clear picture: older shooters reclaiming accuracy they'd lost to aging eyes; hunters upgrading favorite handguns; competitive shooters improving follow-up speed; and people with macular degeneration or muscular issues who were about to retire revolvers they loved.

"I had not been able to shoot because of my aging eyes. I was not able to see the front sight. Many men told me to sell the revolver. With the Griffon mount I am able to use my 357 maximum once again. The revolver has always been very accurate and now is REALLY ACCURATE!" — David G.

Griffon Hill provides detailed instructions for owner installation, or customers can have a gunsmith install it (most complete the work in under an hour). Dan responds personally to questions and is known for problem-solving during the installation process.

Due to Washington's sales tax complexity, state residents must submit orders through a form on the website. Griffon Hill sends a secure Stripe payment link within 1 business day with correct local tax applied.

When asked why they don't offer colors other than black, the owner quoted Henry Ford: "Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants, so long as it is black." Black works on blued guns, blends on stainless, and keeps inventory simple. They also stick with slotted screws over Torx because the design prevents over-tightening—a core engineering choice that reflects their precision approach.

For revolver shooters ready to upgrade optics without drilling the frame, Griffon Hill's mounts represent a no-compromise solution built by someone who understands precision manufacturing.
