Source - NightGuard fixed rear sight?
I have an old 625 4” ACP that I want to install a fixed rear sight on. Have been told that aside from the holes not matching (my smith can drill/tap) - the rear sight from a current NightGuard will fit.
My problem - WHERE do I get one? Have searched and searched - no joy.
Assistance, please.

Check with Hamilton Bowen for his rough service sight.

If I recall correctly, that isn’t a fixed sight - is it?

2). Another source said that the C&S sights ARE the ones being used by S&W for the NightGuard?
3). D&L is a possibility.

It appears in stock when I put it in the cart or at least the first one. The D&L Sports version was a little cheaper at about $75.

I had a guy with a 3D printer that offered to make one if I sent one of the originals for measurements. I got lazy and never sent in a sight. I think a polymer version at about $20 would sell a ton.

Excellent idea
I don't know where to buy them now but I put a fixed rear sight on my 625-3 with a 3'' barrel. I did this about 20 yrs. ago after 9/11/2001 terror attacks. I carried it every day for some time. The front sight needed to be milled down a bit and I had a bobbed hammer installed. If I ever sell the gun original parts would be included.

Maybe just me, but I wouldn't put a plastic sight on a carry or duty gun. Too easy for it to get trashed. Your gun, your call.

You might try Fusion Firearms . I bought some adjustable for my 406TSw and 4566TSW . I remember they have sights for S&W revolvers .
