Ruger LCR?

[jws]

New taller front sight was needed… adapted this from a Ruger MKIV.

Could you provide more detail on the sight and install? I have a 3” .22 LCR that I would like to get a fiber optic front sight on and I can’t find one anywhere.

Strictly a custom proposition. Took a factory MKIV front sight, milled a channel on the underside for where the factory cross pin connects on the LCR, then drilled and tapped for the MKIV sight screw.



If the regular fixed sight LCR fronts fit your 3”, there are a few factory options for a fiber optic.

Dam.

I really really wanted that Novak rear… but then I needed a taller front. Down the custom-smithing rabbit hole I went.

Left my .38 LCR off with the same gunsmith when I picked up the rimfire.

Ameriglo or fission need to come out with LCR sight! A rugged adjustable rear from factory would be good upgrade.

Thanks! It’s been a while since I have looked but last I knew the .22 required a different height front than the .38/.357 and I wasn’t able to find a fiber optic one from any manufacturer. I’ll have to look around again and see if any are out there.

May work for you with the adjustable rear. IIRC, .38 sights are slightly taller than the rimfire ones.

Hope this works

Do you like the Hiviz sights on the 9mm? Do you find the height works well enough for POA/POI? Thanks!

I personally just didn't care for the Hi-Viz. I know they have a huge following, but I found I could pick up the orange XS sights (same set as on my .22 LCR and .327 LCR) faster and more consistently.
I also found the POA/POI better for me, holding about an inch below the X on a B8 target using my 147 gr handloads. 10 yards and beyond I use a 6 o'clock hold on the black. Please take into account I'm pushing 70 and wear trifocals...

The HiViz POA/POI ... IIRC I had to hold about 1 inch lower than the XS.

The great thing about LCR's is that it takes less than 10 minutes to swap out the front sights.

Just one old guy's opinion.
