The single expansion chamber compensator that S&W some times refers to as a Power Port and others as the Carry Comp is quite effective at reducing muzzle climb. All anyone that is not convinced of this needs to do is shoot a 3" 586 or 686 next to the L-comp utilizing the same ammunition.

The revolvers are VERY accurate plus you have 7 rounds of 357 Magnum ammunition and the ability to use moon clips if you desire.



Whats not to like?

The issue with the sights is not that they go dead (take them into a dark room and look at them they are still glowing), the issue is that a vial of tritium small enough to fit into a standard width S&W front sight does not contain enough of the gas to generate a level of illumination that most folks can easily see. People that have very good night vision can barely make them out.

This is why the Night Guards are wearing the Ashley Big Dot front sight. It allows for a much larger tritium vial.

RufusG,
If your sights were truly dead get them replaced. They have a 10 year warranty.
