I'm home and measured the height of my front sight on my 66 No Dash. It is .210. Do you think that going to a .200 will get the rear sight down enough so I don't have to worry about shooting loose the rear sight. Right now there is only about 2 threads holding on the rear sight elevation screw and it's still about 6-8 inches low at 50 FEET. The gun is a M-66 No Dash with a 4 inch barrel. It shoots this low with mild 357's loaded with 173 grain bullets at about 1000 fps. Shoots even lower with 158 grainers at the same fps.
I guess I could always buy a sight and then file it down but really don't want to do that. The other option besides replacing the rear sight blade with a taller one is to buy a complete sight (front and rear) from you. If I do buy the complete set can I be assured that the POA and POI will be close enough that I still have some usable adjustments left both up and down?
I have had many S&W's K frames and N and J's but this is the first time I ran into this problem.
Thanks

I will be home in about an hour so I can measure the sight then. Am I correct in thinking that the .125 width is standard for S&W ?
Can you give me information on your Pay Pal so that I can get the $$ to you?
Thank you

I have a M-66 No Dash that is driving me nuts. At 50 feet all shots are 6-8 inches low when shooting 357, 158 grain bullets. I need a shorter front sight because the rear sight is about a turn away from being at it's highest point. No more room to raise it! I understand a common problem with both the M-66 and M-19 with 357 mag ammo.
I don't have the pistol in front of me now but it is all stock and I believe the front sight height is .250. Do you have any .200 all black pinned sights left that I could purchase? I just need one.
Thanks for your time.

The one I have now is the .146 blade. I didn't think that .010 would make much difference in front sight height. I have to go away on business for a few days but I'll take this up with you when I return. The M-66 is a nice gun I just have to get it shooting to the same zip code as I'm aiming.
