My 2" Model 60 sees a lot of pocket carry and I would not want adjustable sights on it. With different loads and bullet weights it will shoot to SLIGHTLY different elevations out to the 25 yards I shoot it but the dispersion is always vertical and never horizontal. For me the fixed factory sights work just fine.
All my N Frames have adjustable sights. I carry and compete with them exclusively and once they are sighted in I have never had to re-adjust the rear sight for any reason, and that includes when I hunt with them. That said, I do prefer the sight picture of the adjustable rear sight. In many years of carrying large frame revolvers concealed in pancake type holsters I have never managed to break an adjustable Ruger or S&W rear sight. They are a lot tougher than many would believe.
