    S&W 640 with D&L Sports Sights

    Traded away some soulless murder plastic for this yesterday.

    Oddly enough, I'm selling my 686+ tomorrow because of the internal lock. (I didn't want to do the deconstruction.)

    Nice looking 640, though. (And I know you know how to take care of those pesky ILs.)
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    The lock is the only thing keeping me from turning tree frog green with jealousy. S&W should license that set up, and lose the 3-dot 640 pro.

    Not sold on the sights so far. I gotta get to the range. I need to shoot this SxS with my Ruger Wiley Clapp SP101 (true apples to apples), Custom 642 and 43c. I’m thinking XS front with U notch rear might be the best.

    In the final analysis, I suspect you may be right.

    Turns out D&L makes a fixed sight that screws into the frame of K-, L-, N-, and X-frame Smiths.

    I just emailed them about cost.

    Square (OK, rectangular) black sights you can see on a J-frame are pretty remarkable to me. Loose the IL and I would have been sold on it too.

    Hope you like it on the range,
    Dave

    Nice set up, definitely an improvement. Leather choiice might be a consideration. I have a Kimber K6 2" with night sights and they are tall but ok, in the leather department.

    Just heard back from Mr. Lauck: "They run $95. Includes the screws. Night inserts can be put in, but only after you mount sight and check the zero."

    Now you know what I know.
