Default Meprolight night sight for J frame?

I've had big dots before on a 342 and I've been looking at getting another front sight. I bumped into the meprolight sight while doing a search and didn't see any pictures like you do with the big/standard dots. Any help, pictures, or advice is welcome.

I am not sure what you are asking for.

The link you provided does indeed have a picture of the J-frame sight.

It was the very first one listed on the page. Here it is:

I've used Meprolight night sights for years on several weapons,(revolvers&autos) along with others, XS and Trijicon and Meprolight has been consistently brighter and the sight design is square and gives a sharper, clearer front sight in daylight than the others.

In other words, I endorse Meprolight heartily!!!!!

I have this sight installed on my 640-1. I have never used the big dot sight so I can't give you a comparison. IMO without rear night sights I don't think it will make much difference if I ever needed to use it in a SD situation. That said it does compliment the the j frame (doesn't look like an after thought), I'll try and post a pic later, Rick.

Thank you! Yeah I have yet to see one installed on a J frame and was curious what it would look like. I may just invest in a laser but typically tritium doesn't burn out like batteries do.

I had an XS Bigdot put on my 60-9 and could not be happier. You know right where it is pointing day, or night.
