The little Seecamp pocket pistols are well known for not having any sights at all, since they aren't necessary for close range point shooting (which is all this gun was designed for). I purchased this brand new LWS 32 recently, with no intention of modifying it. However, the temptation to put sights on it anyway was just too much, so out came the gunsmithing tools! It's better to have sights and not need them, than need sights and not have them!
It's a stainless steel low-profile (snag free) bead front sight. I drilled a shallow blind hole in the front of the barrel, making sure not to compromise the bore by going too deep. Then, I carved the bead front sight to fit from a rod of solid stainless steel. After that, I pressed the sight in and secured it with some JB-Weld so that it doesn't go flying away. There is no need for a rear sight, since the back of the slide is so thin that you can easily line up the bead at the top/center without them.
I'm happy with how it turned out!
Here is a close up of my custom stainless steel front sight, and 35-degree barrel crown:
Sight picture:
Side views:
A before and after of my barrel re-crowning job (done before I started on the sight). The original factory crown was sloppy, off center, and not concentric with the bore.
Now to challenge myself at the range and see just how far this little Seecamp can hit!
