Aftermarket sights for a Model 29?

Swing · Apr 11, 2018

Hey pals. I recently acquired a Smith & Wesson, Model 29, "Classic" revolver in .44 Mag. I like it a lot, but am considering swapping out the rear sights for better ones. To be candid, with aging eyes, something bigger would be better. I believe they make nice target sights for these.

So, any recommendations? Thank you.

I've got Millets on my Model 27. They are a little bigger than the stock rear sight.

If you can find them Millett used to make some rear sights for them. I have one on a S&W 18. Bowen makes rear sights for the guns:

A third vote for Millets... I have them on several of my revolvers including my Model 29.. Never had a problem with any of them...

Here is a replacement sight blade Weigand makes for the S&W rear sight:

My 629's and 29's still have the original sights. If I were to resight them I would look at night sights. Have them on all my semi's.
