Dawson Precision. Huge choice of FO sights, top quality. Have also used SDM, if they have the height you need.

Have both Dawson and SDM.
Where possible, I prefer SDM as the dot is larger.

Also happy with Dawson, HiViz, and 10-8 fiber optic sights, although I don't believe 10-8 makes any for revolvers. I have more Dawsons than anything else.
Cheers,

I've seen larger dots than the Dawson..... I've got one (Dawson) on a Beretta EliteII and like it for the $$s

The only only fiber optic sight I've tried on a revolver is the HiViz Overmould. I liked it better than the gun so I sold it and I don't have a picture. I'd install another of their sights if I was going that direction.

I installed a fiber optic front sight on my S&W 629. It is installed and held with a 'pin'. I had to align and drill a small hole thru the sight base. Easy to do if you take your time.

I have one on my 5 & 1/2' Redhawk and would recommend the larger sight vile.

Does anyone have a specific part number for a fiber optic for a S&W 610 or do I have to try and take the stock sight off and measure or guesstimate what size I need?
