21 shooter Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Well, no not really. Can’t see Smith being that wild. I did look at a Desert Eagle with that paint job. Since I like shooters as compared to safe queens I will stay with stainless steel as much as I can. But if I win the big lottery……… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice36 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I used a Weigand DX sight base. Now I don't have to pin the blades in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NGlock Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 thanks to everyone for the information, so now the 929 gets a nose job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 This is our Classic style sight base. It is 1/4" square x 1.5" long. It is shorter than the Weigand/Bowen base which is 1.75" long. This one has a setscrew in the front rather than a spring loaded plunger in the rear. This design makes it much easier to get the sights in and out, and holds them more securely. The sight base is made of stainless steel. We also make the sights to go on them, but any brand of Classic style sight will fit. The sight base comes with a #6-48 mounting screw. They are $45 + shipping and can be ordered from our website (use the contact form). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NGlock Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 woohoo the sight base is on its way. I need to trim the 929 and a 648. I had purchased a 610 way back when S&W mad a small run but it had an 8 3/4 barrel. I was able to cut off 3+ inches and mill off the sight base and reattach it to the 5 inch barrel. With the 929 and the 648 ( 6 inch ) I am unable to do that. so need to find the sight base to attach. Will have to remove some of the weight they hang under the barrel to make it a more responsive pistol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was this purchased and was it made for Lew Horton, Bangers or any of the distributors that have special runs made. To my knowledge and I have known to be wrong Smith never made one with that length and if they were made they would be the holy holy grail. The 5” and 3” demand high prices. Do not confuse the 3” with the 3 7/8”. They bring from $2500 to $3000 and a 8 3/4” would bring “who knows “ By chance do you still have the box it came in.

ysrracer Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I'm a five inch guy, and I like five inch S&W revo's too. They just balance better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomjerry1 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Second the 5" barrel, handles way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGlock Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 it was probably 8 3/8 in long and I beleive it was S&W. they put out a run of 500 or so. This was the only one I could find with any length barrel. But it was worthless to me with that long a barrel, so it was trimed to 5 inches. Here is the stub and you can see where the sight base was cut off. It was then cleaned up and screwed and epoxied on. Been there for years shot it in uspsa competition for ever.

NGlock Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 here it is as of today. Haven't shot it in years since it was hard to find a round nose 200gr bullet. I was a believer in heavy bullets slow to make major PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
