I have a Brazil 586 that I use for IDPA. The rear sight is an LPA black target sight (used as OE on some PC Smiths), but on a later modified gun I got a Bowen Rough Country rear sight and that is preferable - Both have the standard .125" notch. Front sight is a Dawson Precision .100" wide fiber optic. That is .025" narrower than stock and gives a good amount of light on both sides of the blade with the .125" rear notch. Makes for quicker pick-up, but less precision.

My front blade was integral with the base so I had to mill the whole sight off and install a new base (Weigand - not making them anymore, but Bowen is) the new base accepts the easily interchangeable front blades. If your front blade is pinned in, then all you need to do is change the blade. Dawson makes both kinds of blades.

Adios,

Pizza Bob
