I purchased a new S&W Model 41 Performance Center about 8 months or so ago from Cabelas. Regretfully I lost the front sight a few days ago. I looked on the Internet and called S&W, nobody has the sight in stock.
I do see where I can buy "blank" DX Style sights from Bowen Classic Arms. The base of the "blank" sight seems to have the same triangle shape as the one I lost. Does anybody know if it will fit my Model 41?
Here is a link to my S&W on the S&W sight and also a link to the "Blank" on the Bowen sight.
Product: Model 41
DX Front Sight Blade Blank [P409] - $16.95 : + Bowen Classic Arms +, Parts Store
I think I have 4 options.
1. Buy the "blank" and have it milled to fit. I'm hoping it would be high enough. The "blank" is only $17 or so.
2. Wait on Smith and Wesson to get the sight in stock. This could take a very long time.
3. Get a Gunsmith to CNC a replacement or modify the barrel on my S&W to accept a more standard sight. (could be very expensive).
4. Buy a non Performance Center 5.5" barrel from eBay for about $470.00 or so. (last resort)
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
