I just purchased a S&W rear sight for the model 41 I have, with a red dot scope on it. Is installation as straightforward as it looks or am I in for some surprises?

Straight forward, & quite easy. there is a small hex screw for retaining the sight in the dovetail on left side. Slides in either direction. Easily adjusted for windage. You may need a soft headed hammer to drift it thru the dovetail to center (perferably from left to right)

Sorry, listed the hex screw being on the left in post...it is on the right of the base body. When you slide into dovetail, just make sure screw is "back out" so it will not drag in dovetail.
