It uses a tiny little tool to move a slanted screw to change the elevation, and has a white outline around the rear notch. Is this the sight you were referring to ?
It sounds like it could be, but without seeing a picture of it, I can't be sure. There were aftermarket fully adjustable sights out there as well. I have even seen someone adapt a revolver target sight to a model 39. They are hard to describe. Take a look at the two links below from snw19_357 in his album and you can see a side shot of the S&W fully adjustable sights.

They usually came as a S&W made accessory, but every once in a while they came installed that way from the factory.
