Okay gents. I did some testing and here are my opinions:
1. Snub revolver sights can be variable for elevation depending on the power and weight of the cartridge. “One size fits none” come to mind since ammunition can be quite variable.
2. Three flat across assumes that the ammunition will hit to that elevation at that distance. Which is a big assumption.
3. I just tested in darkness with this sight and it turns out it’s appropriate if you use it “properly.” It’s only a single tritium… which means if the full tritium is up in the notch it looks the same as it would out of the notch….
Behold.
Full tritium visible.
But whoops!
Wasn’t in the notch.
Looks the same as this…
Which is in the notch…
But with motion if I can see the tritium partially shield from below and / or shield from the sides, I know I’m actually on target. So I’m not looking to see the whole tritium… because then I can’t tell it from being out of the notch in very low light.
Check this out. With the tritium just peeking into the notch at 10 yards aiming at the head and with a green Wheeler laser on the muzzle…
Bill,
I agree, which is why I don't carry one of these guns (small frame 2" 5-6 shot). My carry gun is a 386 NG with an adjustable rear sight. The factory 'no snag' rear was as JCN said, "One size fits none." The sights on the 386 are now regulated to the ammo I carry.

I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

I did the Galloway spring kit as well. My DA pull is about the same but very smooth.
While I had the side plate off, I polished all the contact points with Mas metal polish and a felt dremel pad at a low speed.
It's been 100% reliable with any ammo since the springs were installed.
Over 1200 rounds now.
I have yet to get any speed-loaders yet, but have some strips that are half moon shaped that work well, but not quick.

Dave, nice! Would you post a picture of your night guard? I love those guns.
I have an N frame set up for playing around, cut for 9mm moons.
What I did on some of my J frame type things with non adjustable sights was either mark the front, file it down or pick ammo that shoots to POA.
Or use one of the Big Dot glue on sights.
I tried shooting with the tritium dot. Using the top of the iron front sight had me hitting the center of the down zero of an IDPA target at 7 yards. Raising the front sight until I could see the tritium dot had me hitting the head of the IDPA target at 7 yards. I wish they had put the tritium dot at the top of the sight like they should have.
My 856 Ultra-Lite came yesterday. It's broke. The cylinder binds on a couple of chambers. It's now headed back to Taurus for repair and they are paying for shipping.
