Check out these articles by Dr. Norman Wong OD. While more geared to bullseye shooting, there are several pearls in the articles worth taking away. A fellow senior champion clay shooter has glasses made using some of the guidelines presented by these articles and still shoots perfect rounds with...

The L-shape of the NM rear aperture (if you're able to install it) may not allow the rear sight to fold down. You may have a better chance if you cut off one of the apertures but this will leave you with only one option. This also assume the thread pitch of the windage screw is compatible with...

You will need to verify the position of the detent pin in your specific front sight housing. As long as it is at 12/3/6/9 o'clock, you're halfway there. Sightlink supplies two detent pins (longer to engage BOTH notched bases) of different diameter as the diameter of the housing for the detent...

I'm running the 0.070" Military width (same as standard AR post) on my M&P15-22. Since this rifle is for fun and speed, I wanted to get the biggest diameter FO rod possible. Using the large aperture, both eyes open with daylight, the 'dot' glows nicely over targets, but has enough metal on the...

Eyesight and other issues not withstanding, here are some options: http://www.tech-sights.com/inserts.htm I use these to customize my rear sight on my 10/22 using the Techsights rear sight. You will need to drill out the smaller Magpul BUIS rear aperture to 0.125" to afford a tight fit of the...

Sightlink Fiber Optic Front Post: Sightlink - AR-15 Fiber Optic Front Sight: MSP Scope Mounts Sightlink mounted in Daniel Defense Front Fixed BUIS: For pistols, I typically paint my front sights red using Testors model paint under magnification using loupes for a nice ‘sharp’ sight picture...

The V-comp PC guns use a 3/8" dovetail front sight which makes finding a suitable replacement almost impossible. You can get the various forms of rifle sights with a 3/8" dovetail but none are pistol-specific partridge or ramped sights; they usually have a wider base that tapers to a round fiber...

Just got a 625 PC myself. For moon clips, try: Ranch Products - picked up a 100 clips for something like $30-$35 shipped. They have them in carbon steel or stainless (costs more). Also have them available slotted. Hearthco - costs a little more but if his clips and your brass fits well...

Just got a 627 V-Comp and would like sibling revolver in .45 ACP Contact me via PM or email. thanks! Dave.

Tim, in addition to the fiber optic installation with Pinnacle (which I mentioned in your other post), if you want a tritium option using a 'stock' sight, contact tool tech at tooltechgunsight.com to see if they can help you out. Tool tech is the gunsmithing arm of Trijicon and they do alot of...

Here you go: 4wheelguns.com - DS-10 Speed Loader ....just watch out for clearance issues with certain rubber grips.

North Mountain (NM) makes a nice one: 4wheelguns.com - NM - IDPA Compliant Speed Loader Holder I'm looking into getting their moon clip holder.

Supposedly, the Performance Center offerrings use a 3/8" dovetail for the front sight. Part #24328 from S&W should be the correct part for a 627 V-Comp PC. There may be gold/brass beaded or fiber optic offerrings with the 3/8" dovetail from Marbles and other manufacturers, but note, most of...

Stippling the M&P – a tutorial As much as I enjoy steel framed 1911’s, checkered wood and other firearms forged from fire, polymer pistols and accessories are here to stay. As with most stock polymer components, the texture and grip is usually lacking and leaves much to be desired. Like most...
