    I can't be sure from the photos, but it sure looks like the style of front sight Hamilton Bowen installs on many revolvers.

I returned the gun to the seller with full disclosure for a re-fund / trade in on a P-226.
    End shake is pretty common on older Six series guns that have been shot a lot. Just installing a shim won't always fix it. Frequently shimmed 6 series guns will need the forcing cone cut as well.

    I really liked the white line and taper of the front sight post. It was the primary reason I rolled the dice on the gun.

    I have his front sight on two J frames and a number of N frame revolvers. Like it!
