Can't tell it from factory.
I've had it done that way too and it works well, but it gets a tad more involved changing the blade out. They come un-drilled so every blade has to be drilled to match each individual gun. Not really something that was meant to be swapped in and out over and over. Can be done, but a bit more problematic as pins get loose and you have to replace them or play "find my front sight in the weeds".

I like the Weigand base on Magnum revolvers, because I don't know how many times I've run out of adjustment with some load. When you move from a 200 gr .38 spl to a 110 gr .357 there's a huge change in the point of impact, you often run out of adjustment at the extremes.
