Are after market Night sights available for S&W revolvers?
I have inherited three S&W revolvers. I am a revolver for self defense person. The problem is two of these revolvers have the plain black front sights. One has the red ramp insert. When my Daughter went to practice for her CHL I brought the three revolvers. We were in a relatively well lit indoor range but I couldn't see squat for the sights and basically was pointing and shooting. The 'scores' reflected that.
I have a 4" 686 with a red ramp front sight and a shorter barreled 45ACP 625 with a black sight. The 625 has the front sight held in with a small drift pin.
These two revolvers would be for the house only and not for CHL. I don't have a CHL as I am too old, fat and slow to even think about going all Wyatt Earp on anybody's backside.*
*Revolver only please; no get a semi suggestions, please.
Any suggestions?
Also, which gun for the house? The way our house is laid out is in the form of a 'T'. Three bedrooms at the top of the T with my bedroom door in the middle in a straight line with the front door. We're only going to keep one of the revolvers here as the other two, because of how they were acquired, are going into a safe deposit box at the bank. My Wife and Daughter have scatterguns and her own pistol, respectively.
4" 357 686 or about 3" 45 ACP 625?
Thanks,
