The hole and pin is .055 diameter. A 1/16 pin punch is .062 diameter. Usually 1/16 is the smallest you can find, so get one of those and file or grind it down a little.

The Brownell's part number for the pin is #940-077-250AD. The S&W # is 077250000.

You are most welcome! :cheers: Best Regards - Warren

In a pinch, you can always take one of those little eyeglass screwdriver kits, and grind the tip flat on one of the tiniest ones--makes a perfect punch for drifting those little front sight pins in and out.

The part number Warren cited may be for a solid pin, as opposed to a roll pin. S&W seems to use them interchangeably in the guns. It doesn't really matter which one you use--they both work fine.
