AveragEd,

The old PPC shooters here in VA will be very surprised to read what you said. They ignorantly used the adjustable front sight for PPC, and of course, many purpose-built PPC guns had an Aristocrat™ rib with a multi-click front sight (that's what my Schmidt Short Cylinder gun used) and the clicks made it possible to make instant changes for range, which most of us did. I was never a top-of-the-heap competitor by a long stretch, but I was always willing to take whatever help the rules allowed. I don't know which application was the "planned" one for the adjustable front sight model, but it sure worked well for PPC here!

Respectfully,
Froggie

PS fyimo, the 6" adjustable sight version of the 686 was fairly common around here. Maybe this was not the case for the longer barrel version, but it would not have been legal for PPC use anyway because of the 6" maximum barrel rule.
