"...we suffer more in imagination than in reality." Seneca, probably.
This thread reminded me of my desire for a 986PC 5" with an optic. Damn you, P-F.
Here’s a niche.
Were I a revolver manufacturer... I’d be looking to get dots on snub guns. But not the dots we know and love. I want a dot that is the result of too much drinking and poor family planning between an Aimpoint ACRO and a Leupold DeltaPoint Micro.
It needs to be offered from the firearm factory as a semi-permanent component. Battery changes obviously shouldn’t require removal. There rear of the optic should sweep up from the frame where the rear sight sits on a normal snobby and be maybe a 5/8” to 3/4” window. It can be squared or rounded. Don’t care. It will be a “tube” type sight so it will either travel the length of the top strap and angle forward to the bottom at the barrel to reduce snag - or - more preferably, it will go all the way to the end of the barrel with a slight taper and forward slant to ease holstering.
It’s gotta draw smooth and quick from a good pocket holster.
It will be fully enclosed to allow easy maintenance and it will add a snag-free increase of height but not width. Backup sights would be incorporated into the optic and bonus points for adjustability since ammo differences are a thing with snubbies. Backup sights could even be low profile on top of the optic which would be a huge win over obstruction to the optic window. Sight over bore and all that (maybe both— hmmm).
I love my old school revolvers. I have a square-butt 36, a 60, 640 .38, and a 3421PD. If they made a good version of this that was quality and didn’t have a lock I’d get one as the next generation backup gun. I’d put a CTC laser on the grip and feel very happy.
