Hi,

Give a look to Dawson for sights, ready made or custom if needed.

+2 on SDM sights. I got mine from Dillon Precision for about $35.00. Dropped right into my 629-3 Classic DX.

I liked the HiViz before I put a Burris FF3 on it, which I like even better.

One of these days, I'm going to call S&W customer service and see if they will sell me an extra front sight like this on my 629-8 PC Hunter. I really like the hi visability it provides.

I bought one (#019-145) from Dawson (they come with some replacement optical fibers too) a while back for my 5" 629-6, which uses the DX/interchangeable blade. When I installed it the blade's length (.600" long) "looked" odd. Guess I'm used to seeing the longer SDM (1.00" long) blades?

Yours looks okay. How long is it?

I've got a 5" TALO 686+ too.
