twister Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I need to get a new rear sight for my 625,and would like to know which one to get? I looked at the High country,and the LPA. If there are any other choices out there,I'm not aware of them. Any help is appreciated,Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gp100man Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Weigand is another choice. I've not tried them, but I've toyed with the idea. I've just been using the rear sights from Smith and Wesson. http://www.jackweigand.com/smith_wesson_rear_blade.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirpy Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I have a Weigand on a 686 and it is great. Gives me the same sight picture as the BoMars on my 1911's. FWIW Richard PS: The Weigand is just a replacement blade that fits the S&W sight base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
310yuma Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I have installed Weigand rear sight blades on 4 S&W revolvers and they all work well. The nice thing about the Weigand rear sight is they are available with different width sight notches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1911 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I like the Apex Tactical rear sight blade. It looks much like the Weigand, but it is steel rather than aluminum. I had Apex open up the notch to .140. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Whyte Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I put front & rear f/o on my 686 & my 625 4 inch guns from Toolguy, on this forum. I will order 2 more sets from him for my other revolvers when he returns from Germany. He,s great to do business with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 The Weigand looks good but has at tendency to fit a bit loose. It may wiggle a bit, which some don't like. All of Apex's stuff is top notch, may have to try one of theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob DuBois Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Have Weigand on three pistols and put Weigand on several friends pistols, very pleased with sight picture. They do move a little but it doesn't seem to hurt accuracy. Using SDM front fiber optic. Need to replace the screw kit when installing sight. The spring loaded punch from Harbor Freight works well to stake the sight screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Griffin Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 What's the trick to get the Weigand not to flop around? I have a few, some that came with the gun and some that I installed and they all have play in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few, some that came with the gun and some that I installed and they all have play in them. I haven't figured it out. Even tried to dimple it to tighten it up, didn't work. The looseness did not seem to affect accuracy though. I don't think it's possible due to the design. May have to drag it out and try it again, I did like the sight picture. It might even be better to have it loose, than too tight. As the being loose it should always fall to it's lowest point, adding friction could cause it to settle at odd points in it's rotation.

I guess my problem is that I have to run the rear sight all the way up to zero, I can never figure out what's what when it comes to ordering .25 or .3 sights for the front.

All of Apex's stuff is top notch, may have to try one of theirs. My weigand wiggles a lot - may be due to improper install, I don't know. Blue loctite will tighten them up for awhile. I found a new in box Millet on eBay and it will be on the gun this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
