| |  C&S sights ?
I started a thread on 696 44spl and someone commented on the C&S sights. Looked like replacement rear sight that did away with all the sharp edges. What do you know about them. |

Extreme Duty Fixed Sights and Sight Sets
Made to be a direct replacement for factory S&W sights. Also the same sight S&W uses on the Night Guard series. There are a few other posts with pictures...Search Mr. Whitecoyote and you will see some of them. |

They are a very durable and well made sight. I tried one on a Model 67 but ended up replacing it because I didn't care for the sight picture. One note: The Extreme Duty sight you can buy directly from C&S has a square notch while the one S&W supplies on the Night Guard series is a rounded notch.
You might also consider the Bowen Rough Country rear sight, which is adjustable but is very robust. |

In others experience. How does this sight affect POI with the factory front sight(orange insert), say on a Model 66 snub? The factory adjustable just has such a sharp edge to them. |

A custom S&W model 28 converted to .44 Special caliber. It shoots POI.  A custom S&W 657, .41 mag. This revolver shot very low. Front sight was taken down to shoot POI.

WC,
Do the C&S rear sights fit the older style (square front end) frame groove?
Thanks,

Thanks,
todd | The folks at C&S told me they wouldn't, but then again forum members have clearly installed them on older guns. Not sure if modifications were required. Anyone? |

Yes, they can be made to fit. This is the S&W model 28. You can see from the front the modification Mag-Na-Port made. It also had to be drilled, and tapped.  This is the 28 as a work in progress.
