Thread: "Rugged" adjustable rear sight for Smith Revolvers

  1. #1

    "Rugged" adjustable rear sight for Smith Revolvers

    Does such a thing exist? Adjustability is nice but the S&W adjustable rears are easy to damage. Is there a more robust option out there?

    Never tried it but there’s the Bowen Rough Country sight.

    That’s what I put on my 69 along with a Protocall gold dot front. Very happy with both.

    I bought a 66 recently that came with a busted up rear sight so I put a Bowen on it. It's a really nice sight, very well made and great sight picture.

    Put one on my pre-15 Combat Masterpiece during a rebuild and it’s a very nice sight. Rounded edges especially nice if you use a holster that tucks the frame tightly against your body.

    How did this work out? I just put a HiViz front sight on my 2.75" M69. I am looking at putting a C&S U notch rear on mine as well. How did it work out for you and how did the gun shoot? High? Low?

    Apologize for resurrecting an old thread, but just saw this while surfing for answers...

    Mine surprised me how well my 125 golden sabers shoot to dead center of the front sight dot and my 158gr reloads shoot right to the tip.
