327 TRR8 - red ramp front site?

[dave_g]

I just picked up a TRR8. It has the DX gold bead front sight. Does anyone know who makes a DX red ramp front sight? All I can find on the internet is gold beads and fiber optics.

Thanks.

All I have ever seen for that revolver is the gold bead or the standard white dot that came on mine. Ended up putting a Burris reflex sit on the pistol since it comes with that terrific rail.

I curious to see there are any other alternatives out there as well.

S&W does have a ramp front. I guess I could try to modify that. Kind of expensive though.

Call S&W or SDM or any of the other manufacturers. The IFS sights have been around for more than two decades. Many sights have been made and discontinued over the years.

One of the manufacturers might have a few of a discontinued design lying around. Or an overrun from a special order.

Another option would be to call S&W. One of the 460 or 500 Magnum models featured a Red Ramp front sight on the DX base featured on these models. So, that sight has been made by S&W, it just never made it into the catalog. Sometimes you can connect with a Customer Service rep who will do the digging required to find the part number for items like this and once you have that part number it's then simply a matter of ordering it by phone. However, that only works if they have some of that particular item listed as being in stock in the warehouse.
