Is there any way to get night sights on my S&W M13, 3" HB. It has fixed sights now. The 50 year old eyes aren't what they used to be...
Thanks

Yes, you'll need to find a gunsmith that will remove the old sights & cut dovetails then install the sights you want. As to who that gunsmith is, I have no idea.
I'd suggest that you might start your quest by checking with Tool Tech (Trijicon), Novak's, Cylinder & Slide and Grant Cunningham-any or all of them might be able to specify what their capabilities/options are.

This should be a standard job for a competent revolver smith, and not terribly expensive depending on the sights you want.
Off the top of my head Jerry Keefer has done several revolvers for me with quick turn around and great prices.
And Clark Custom Guns can do just about anything to a revolver.

Call tool-tech. They are not that expensive. If you can tritium front only it's 100.00.

Laser grips are an option.
Really I think you need to figure out what it is you can see before you start having work done. With me a wide rear notch and narrow front post is working for now.
This work is expensive. You might be better off getting a revolver with the sights you want.
