XS Glue On J-Frame Sight - Files Instead of Milling

[Alpha Sierra]

I'm going to do some measuring and math on a fixed sight K frame to see what might happen.

The J frame dots should work on a fixed sight K frame.

While the J frame's front sight has a step up right in front of the top of the serrations, XS ignores that step in their measurements. XS considers the top of a J frame's front sight to be the top serration (.155" above the base of the sight).

K frames don't have that step at the very front of the sight. The very top of the front sight is even with the top serration and is exactly .155" tall measured from the base of the front sight. Same as a J frame.

XS states in its installation paper that the center of the dot will be at the same height as the top of the J frame's front sight (.155") so it should be at the same vertical location in a K frame.

I need to sit down and measure my m64s front sight.

Good question both my K frames are heavy barrels (64-5 and 65-3)

Skinny

That is what I thought, and that might be sketchy. The XS might be made to fit on top of the little shelf on the lower part of the fixed sight.

But I wonder about the fixed sight 92 approach:

Hmm, maybe. I installed a gold bead on my m9A1 Compact.....

If that thing could talk I bet it could tell some stories...

Yeah, and I know what they’d sound like!

U notch rear sight.

I'd be curious if this could be done as well. Love my skinny barrel M10 but man do the sights take some work to use.
