I did some cruising through this forum and couldn't find an answer specific to my needs. Can you d&t a 629/29 without going through the top strap? I really prefer not to see holes on the strap underside, but will accept that if there are no other option. I have an Allinchin mini STS mount and a Burris FF 3 red dot ready to go. These tired eyes like micro red dots and I'd like to do Steel Challenge and hunt with this revolver. Am I barking up the wrong tree or is this no thru-holes actually doable? Can the factory sight hole be utilized, or is one hole drilled forward of it and 2 more behind it?
I know, I know - sell it and get a later model that's factory d&t. I really like this revolver and cant part with it. Plus my firearm's budget is blown for the next year. Thanks all!
