Weigand S&W front sight system

[Chuck Perry]

Anyone using this? What I am trying to figure out is if this also allows use of the S&W interchangable front sights, or if I have to use Weigand front sights? I think it will use both, but I'd like to know for sure before I order it!

Quick change sight

They interchange. I have a set on my S&W 625 JM. I'm not a fan of the system. The front sight will catch and detach if you snag it wrong on a holster. At $29.00 a pop compared to a S&W blank sight for about $8.00 I can make my own sights and be happy. A drill press and a dremel tool or file some time and your in business.
If you do go with the quick change route, you can tap the retaining spring hole for a 10/32 set screw. That will keep the sight from falling off.
Or buy a roll pin punch and use the stock sight system.

I have the set-up on my Ruger SBH. I like the system, easy to change. Two blades cover me for all bullet weights and speeds. Not sure about using the S&W blades. Bill
