. . . Not an hour ago I shelved the removal of a rear sight on a Model 1076 (10 mm) just because I can't.

Silly me, it even had a set screw that I thought, "once removed it might just be a simple slide-on, slide-off deal."

Um, nope.

I've taken apart the remainder of the handgun, so I don't exactly fear doing such things. I just don't particularly care to beat up a good gun trying to do what is supposed to be a good thing.

But like so many other S$W sights, one presumes somebody at S&W must've instructed someone else to make nitro the only viable means to quickly remove a rear sight.

For all I know S&W might actually indemnify those who attempt rear sight removals, as have I.

Please let me know if they do.

Later.
