stoked4AA Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'm shooting a 6" 686 + and have been using the stock sights. It's time for them to go. I have seen totally different widths and heights from different companies, the dawson seems low, the C&S and SDM seem wide Im looking to have a narrower front sight with fiber optic and to eliminate the white outline on the rear sight. On my 1911 I have settled on a black rear bomar adjustable sight with a .100 wide dawson front sight. To save the money on trying different setups what are recommended brands and dementions for what I am looking for? I may just black out the rear. What are some options?

Tom E Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 .100" wide front etc: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=115209 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirpy Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Check out the Weigand replacement blade for the rear sight. @ .140 it should be wide enough for you. I have one on my 686. I have an early model without the replaceable front sight and had a dovetail milled into the rib and a FO front installed. The .140 is plenty wide. Am probably going to get a moon gun and go with a similar set up. FWIW Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabbys44 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Check out tool guy on this forum. He made some replacement front sights for S&W revolvers a while ago. Maybe he still has some or is going to make another run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
