AzShooter Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) Anyone know of a replacement for the V-Comp front sight. It is adjustable for windage as it is but is huge. I'd love to find a gold bead or a fiber optic for it. Edited July 22, 2010 by AzShooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevolverJockey Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I would give Randy at Apex a call. A local wheel shooter just had the same problem and Randy made him a fiber front, it came out really nice. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmoney Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 We need to get Warren (or somebody) geared up to make some of these for sale! There was a guy in Australia (Mike McCarthy was his name maybe?) who made them, but he seems to have dropped out of sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mover480 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 How about these? or this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Now that would be perfect. Where? How much? Did you make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevolverJockey Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I believe the one Randy made is square, serrated, and a little taller. Think of it like a SDM but smaller and dovetailed. The sight picture was really nice evening with the stock rear and shorter sight radius. I don't have any idea what it cost, but I am sure Craigar45 would be happy to pass along pictures and talk up the sweet shooter he just had built.

Brian Gonsalves Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Here's one Randy Lee did for me last month. Besides adding the fiber, he narrowed the sight to .100 wide. I also have some of Warren's (toolguy) .100 wide sights in my pinned sight revolvers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toolguy Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 The S&W part number for a black patridge dovetail that can be turned into a fiber optic sight like the ones above is 245630000. It takes a while to get them after you order, so be ready to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
