I’ve got a 4” Model 63 that I’ve gone from really enjoying to being ho hum about. Even with the red insert, the front sight is mostly just a suggestion to my eyes, the DA isn’t pretty and I find I just can’t get comfortable with J frame stocks. Even the Herrett Shooting Stars I have on it don’t feel as good as they used to.
Part of the problem is my hands, part of the problem is my eyes and the rest is my use for it. I’ve been trying to use it as a less expensive DA trainer (compared to 9mm at least).
What I’m looking for is something newer production, K frame/GP100 size, easily replaceable front sight, a 3”-4” barrel and the ability to mount a mrds without a trip to a ‘smith. So far I’ve identified the LCRx, SP101 and 617 as possibilities that meet most of my wants (not sure if the 2 Rugers can do the mrds part yet and the SP grip may be J frame size).
Is there something else I need to add to my list to check out?
Thanks!
