Love my PC .41. Shoots great and I shoot it well but was never satisfied. In anticipation of a special hunt out West with my Son made two changes this fall. XS Big Dot front sight (Tritium insert) to replace the "Millet" orange ramp front. Wow what a difference, as well as function in dark places around a hunting camp. Then splurged on a set of custom Elk antler grips from Mike Dorris @ Md Grips - Custom Elk Pistol Grips, 1911 Grips, Custom 1911 Grips. NEVER had grips fit my hand like these. I wear XXL gloves out of necessity because I cannot find XXXL. Not long, just thick hand and fingers. The original Hogue with finger groves never fit right. Oh my, but these do. And Mike was nearby in Springfield TN. Friends should not let friends shoot uncomfortable guns with bad sights! Be a friend to yourself.

Performance Center .41

I am guessing this revolver is 25-ish years old? Mid to late 90's. I bought it LNIB almost 20 years ago. Very hard to find now. Fantastic revolver for whatever you want to use it for. Mostly I use it to hunt now.
 
XS Big Dot Model?

Looking to update the sights on my 686 Custom Shop. May I ask the model number of the sights and where you found them in stock? I presume you had a gunsmith to help install. Thanks

Sorry Bill! just saw this. I researched for months with little success. Originally wanted just a gold dot front. NO love due to the "Millett" front sight. FINALLY got ahold of XS who knew the sight specs and would make up a Big Dot/Tritium replacement for me. Probably can again. Here is what I had saved in email:
The PN is 10-2008b-450-4 and it would be $71.00 + S&H.
We don't have any built up, we install tritium in them as they are ordered.

That's a rather rare gun to take hunting, like I do!

This one has taken deer but now it is relegated to killing bowling pins!

Great gun! You might want to check and make sure all the screws are tight, especially the rear sight tang screw. Don't need to be losing any parts out in the bush.
