Default 952 front sight dovetail

I would like to install a fiber optic front sight on my model 952-1. Fiber optic sights are available from a number of different manufacturers, but none of the ones I have seen offer sights specifically designed for the model 952.

I suspect that the dovetail for the 952 front sight is the same as other S&W semi-autos. Can anyone confirm my suspicion, and indicate which S&W models have the same front sight dovetail as the model 952.

Thanks,

IDPA Jay

I can't say for sure on the 952 but most of the PC guns use a larger cut, either the .300" or .330" dovetail. You're probably going to have to measure yours to be sure.

A big +1 for Speed Shooters. I called and told them the height and width I wanted for a front sight on my 952 and they fixed me up.
