    This.

    I also like that Ruger is moving towards more options with a standard Novak cut.

    I’ve only trained and hung out with Greg a little bit at PeP3, but I agree that he’s a solid coach, and a great guy to chat with. His wife is cool, and a competent teacher, as well.

    Thanks for the AAR. I love snubby classes and shooting them. I took Claude's class. I would have taken more like Dagga's but time and circumstance intervened. I love to shoot the J's at IDPA matches or short range matches.

    Novak offers replacement front and rear tritium sights for the GP100 and SP101 as well as a tritium front sight for the LCR.

    Neither Dawson nor Trijicon offered anything else for Ruger revolvers, although the Novak tritium sights sold either from Novak or through the Ruger website for the SP101 have Trijicon inserts.

    Tru Glow offers tritium sights that are for a "Ruger LC" but I believe they are for the LC9, not for a revolver.

    So, options exist, but are quite limited. I agree that the ability to change the front sight is far more critical than the ability to change the rear sight, but I do like a 3 dot tritium setup.


    XS makes a good LCR sight. https://www.xssights.com/Ruger_LCR_S...n_pr-8353.aspx

    At the risk of further hijacking this thread about some excellent training, those wishing to have tritium sights on a Colt Python do have an option.
