Bill Nesbitt Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I wonder how much demand there would be for a fiber optic or a good post type sight for fixed sight S&W revolvers. The front sight in my avatar is a cut down SDM. It is about .150" tall. There are a bunch of the newer J-Frames that have a pinned front sight with no good replacement sight on the market that I am aware of. There are some Model 10s showing up at IDPA matches plus the self defense market might be a place for sales. It seems like there is a lot of talk on some of the self defense forums about how to get a good front sight on a J-Frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Nesbitt Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I just went to the C&S web site and couldn't find them. Are they available to the public? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Yes - they have them in stock. Bill has been threatening to redo his website for a while now, but he's really busy running around the country doing the pistolsmith classes and keeping up with everything else. Call them tomorrow and you should get fixed up. If not, let me know and I will help you. Best Regards- W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One question, is fiber easy to change out (unlike SDM)? 2) Options - Style, Sight, Color, Height Pinned, Fiber optic, Green, .300 3) Quantity - If different options, please be sure to specify each combination of options. Two (2) not a big order, but that's all I need Thanks! Edited February 3, 2009 by Brian Gonsalves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'm always interested in something better. I currently use the SDM front sight .250 I believe. Do you have pictures of your sights? How are they mounted? I'd go with Green fiber optic, as skinny as possible. The shorter sight means I don't have to buy such a tall rear sight.

Toolguy Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hi Brian- the fibers are very easy to change out. Trim one end to remove, melt both ends to install. AZShooter- I don't have any pics yet. They are either pin-on or classic style clip-on. These are .100 wide instead of the normal .125 wide.

mikey357 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 ...here's a question I didn't see...on the .100-inch wide front sights...are they "Stepped" in width, so that they'll correctly fit the "Classic"-style front sight bases (or the front sight bases for the "Pin-In" style that are ALREADY set up for the conventional .125-in. width, for that matter?)? Thanks....mikey357 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Yes - the bottom part of the Pin-On and Classic are both .125 wide, then the blade part that you see thru the rear notch is .100 wide, centered on the .125 part. That's why no one else wants to do them - too much work. Good question. Edit to add - Should have the first run ready in a week or so.

I am getting in on this kind of late, any chance of having extra 300 x 100 for S&W classic front sight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
