Had a gunsmith mill in a dovetail and put a hi viz night sight on the front and open the rear sight opening up. A little less accurate but much faster on target.
It is one sexy little beast! I don't think the sights are any worse than on some of my older 1st & 2nd Gen and early 3rd Gen S&W pistols. I prefer the Novak style, but the sights on the 84FS seem to fit with the character of the gun. I might not think that way if I were carrying it... ... but this is a "conversation piece", safe queen and sometimes range gun for moi. No hard duty for my little Italian work of art.
