Ray Chonlatid Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 What front sight (gold pin, fiber optic, etc.) you like to use in IPSC, USPSA games ? I have M625 and still use the original blue iron sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewalker Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 I shoot a 625 in IDPA and IPSC both 625s have XS small dot night sights (Front)...Xpress rear, I have the fibre optic factory on a 325 and like it almost as much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Hopefully Bill Sahlberg will read this thread and post his revo setup. He has sights for the revolver just dialed. Nice, fat light bars... :b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Murphy Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 I like the black patridge like the 625 comes with. i've played with light pipes but I like the black better. For longer ranges (beyond 30yds) I start to string verical with the light pipe as I can't make out the top of the sight. Everybody's eyes are different and they are easy to try out on the new S&W's.

spook Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 I like them as long as they're black and thin (about .100" in a .125" notch with a 5" barrel). Thin sights make tight shots easier IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.carden Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Gold bead for me. I lightly touch it with fine steel wool to remove that mirror effect ( too shinny ). It fills up the rear notch completely and gets me on the target faster and more accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Fiber optics! I like both the SDM and the EGW units. Both are sold through Brownells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Chonlatid Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 Just confused, I have seen many Standard/Limited shooters become use fibre optic sight more and more nowaday. While most of our wheelshooters still satisfy the original black patridge, or gold bead sometime. Perhaps, we start shooting from revolver. Even someone came from Production division. But all these are black patridge sight. I may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Ray, I started shooting USPSA with a Para P16 Limited. when I switched to Revolver I used the stock sights but did not really like the rear sight much as it did not have as wide a groove as the Para and thus I could not look through the sights and had to look over them instead. Fortunately one evening I was cleaning it and dropped it on the rear sight and broke the blade in half. had to get new one Now I have the Factory Black blade on front and the Medium size (height) Black Millet sight (Brownells) on Back and when I look through them I get the exact same sight picture as the Para. As a matter of fact so does the 610 ( the original USPSA revo and still IDPA gun) and am getting a set for the new 646 to try in IDPA. I am like SPOOK I like to have space on the sides of the front sight, it makes it faster to line the gaps up and keep it lined up after shooting.

Yes, that is exactly what I mean. See, when you have a real tight sight picture (i.e. no light on either side), you will "know" exactly how to line up your sights to make a shot. The problem with that setup is that: 1) The gun will move anyway,so you'll never have that perfect SP 2) Once your tight SP is off, you cannot tell how far it is off/where the bullet will go 3) It takes more time to get the desired sight picture A wider SP will give you faster information of where the bullet will go. It may seem inaccurate at first, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
