That’s great, but with the quick removable front sight, isn’t it easier to just swap out the blade for the HiViz if that is your preference?

YES........ it's easier just to change the blade, but how many 625s to you see with a dove tail front sight..? I just want to be a little different.

Default Sights

This appears to be quite an improvement for the front sight.

My 625 V-comp came with a dovetailed Millett front sight. Not sure if there have been others.

BTW: Nice clean job!!

Very nice work. Very professionally done. Looks like you've done a little shop work before! Congratulations on a unique front site.

Blessings,
Hog
