Default Fiber optic and/or nite sights for 6906 and 669

I want to install new sights on my 6906 and 669. looking for advice on where to get fiber optic and/or tritium sights like the Truglo sights I have for my Springfield XD. Anybody have a good experience on getting sights for these types of Smiths?

Novaks would be your best bet. You would most likely need the front sight milled off and dovetail the 669 to add fiber optic.

I have Trijicon's on my 5906. Installed them myself, and had the rear sight with the stainless bracket. I did worry about how old the sights might be since they have a shelf life and the 5906 is not as popular as it once was. Trijicon will install them if you send them your slide, it ships differently than the whole pistol would. The Trijicon's cost about 1/3 of what a 5906 costs without labor to install. I would be possible to install a front fiber optic sight only.
