The current front sight is already VERY LOW (approx. 3/16th of an inch high from the little raised base area on the front of the barrel.) I doubt that S&W has a lower one -- as there's just not much room left for a sight that still has a dot on it.

(I will contact them, but I doubt it will be a good exercise. I guess I could also order a replacement front sight from E-GUNPARTS, and grind it down and see whether that will raise the point of impact enough to do any good.)
measure your sight blade and pick one lower or order from SW and they can tell you which one to get. they will need to know what you have installed.
