Question Rear Sight for X Frame ??

I need to purchase a rear sight assembly for an X Frame 500. Are they interchangeable with the newer revolver sights such as Ks, Ls, or Ns?

Thanks

They all use the same sight, the difference is the blade installed. Just call S&W, 800-331-0852 and order one. They will ask the questions to know which one to send.

That was fast. Thanks for the help. I had a scope on the gun and can not find where I put the rear sight assembly & screws. :/ So I have to find some. Thanks again.

Roger,

I just saw your post. You don't happen to still have the rear sight and screws off of your 460 do you? If so, are you still interested in selling them? Thanks

Does anyone make a tritium type night sights for the S&W 500 Magnum 3.5" barrel?
The hiviz fade out in low light like under a dark canopy or late evening...after that, your just guessing. During the day or in good lighting, the hiviz are good sights but they limit it to a daytime carry only.

Not tritium but brighter than factory.

I have these on several X-frames and like them a lot.

TXT & SAM series

Good luck and be safe

Have contacted the company as to which model is the correct one for my S&W 500 Magnum 3.5" barrel.
I love this revolver except for the sights. As I said, they're great durning daylight & in good lighting situations, but suck in dim or very low light. I try to put Tritum sights on my most used handguns & rifles.....but no luck right now on this one. But in time, there will be some for it too. Who knows, In 5-10yrs, we might see an Auto-Targeting system where we just tell it what to shoot?
I appreciate the information.
Again Thanks
Be Safe & Stay Good
