    When you make your decision novak has some good options with 2day shipping for $8.
    Thanks, I will probably go with an Orange Ring Tritium as that's my go to set up. My Hi Power is almost finished at Novak's as that was more than I dared to take on.
    Did I see in one of your photos that you had a D&L rear sight? If so how do you like it and what height front are you using with it?

    I have the c&s rear. I like it a lot. 125@1450 shoots to low to be usable. 125@1250 are low but usable.

    140&158@1150 are centered in the dot and 158@1230 and 170s@1180 are right on the front sight tip.

    Im not sure of the hight as its the generic meprolight front sight.

    My Completed Modern Combat 66-4

    So I've completed my work on my Model 66-4 to turn it into my idea of the Modern Combat Revolver. I installed a Wolfe 15 Lb. rebound spring. Filed off the factory front sight and cut the dovetail for the Novak Tritium Front Sight by hand. Installed a DL Sports Combat Rear Sight and cut and polished the spur off the hammer. I'm very pleased with the results and don't feel under gunned when carrying it rather than a 1911 or my Hi Power.

    Very nice. The older 19 and 66 snubbies are classics. Everyone should get a chance to shoot one. I got my 19-3 about 10 years ago from a local who advertised it on Big Blue. He probably wants it back.

    In the P-F basket of deplorables.

    Thanks 03RN
    Given your selection of Revolvers, I take that as High Praise.

    My 19-4, which, admittedly, I show off a lot, here:
