Apparently one of the Whitaker's, who is no longer involved with the closed store, and it's owner, is opening a new one.

Last year my LGS had a 3in 856 in the sales case.
Tritium front sight with orange outline.
Light, 6 shots, good barrel length.
I've had bad experiences with Taurus from years back, hadn't touched one since.
So I asked to see it, I started messing with the trigger DA then SA.
Seemed ok.
I started...
The OP is most likely ordering just the sight.
I can't recall exactly how much time it took for mine to be delivered, a week, 10 days.
I ordered the Extreme Duty U notch Pat Riot posted above.
Drops right in, just a screwdriver and Allen wrench is all that's needed.
K frame parts can be found easily, and in abundance.
As Tom mentioned eBay, many sellers there have parts to build several K frame revolvers from the frame up.
I have a blued 4in from 1986.
I have a stainless 3in from 2012.
Slight (minor) differences over the years.
The original grips on the 86 are worn, so it got Altamonts years ago.
The 2012 came with Houges, they have sat in the box since the compact grips were delivered not long after purchasing...
I replaced the patridge front sight on my 629 Mountain gun with a Hi Viz.
I didn't bother with the oddball sized punch and pin.
I drilled the stock pin out with a 1/16th inch bit and used a Ruger pin I had.
Pretty simple.
6.4 grns of Universal and a 158grn plated bullet (Xtreme) has been my 357 plinking load for years now.
I don't have my notes handy, I moved recently, hate moving, lots of stuff still packed away.
If I recall correctly my chrony clocked those at around 1100fps from a 4in Service Six.
I've shot...
I like mine.
I added a Defender Tactical light mount.
600 lumen mini light.
Defender Tactical grip.
FO front sight.
And metal safety.
It's loaded with Federal mini (OPSol adapter) 4 buck.
Handy lil blaster. I have no doubt it would be effective within 100ft, definitely better than a handgun for...
Not sure what the POI would be with a 38/357 XS will be on the 327, but, I'll say that my XS is a massive upgrade to my LCR, significantly better with my declining eyesight.
I don't really have any strong brand loyalty.
I do own more Ruger revolvers than Smiths, mostly because they were significantly cheaper when I was younger.
If I was to only keep one though...it would probably be my 627 Pro, just a great revolver.
