6-position rear sight for S&W revolvers.

[Jeroenw114]

On our Dutch sport shooter forum I came across this sight. A real piece of art. Made in Germany.

I really don't need so much adjustment and at $460 you would like it to include a revolver. But is a cool item. And maybe someone of you can use one?

Mein Gott! Es ist so schön wie der Preis hoch ist!

Heilige Kuh, das ist ein Kunstwerk

Looks like typical German over engineering..good stuff but how much better is it that a regular sight?

Yes, that about sums it up. All of my S&W revolvers hold their zeros great, and were easy to zero.

Now THAT's an adjustable sight !

Very cool!

It is considerably better if you need to shoot different loads or have different known distances that you will be shooting at

When I built THOR (10MM Auto 1911 LS) a few summers ago, I had two specific loads I would be working with back and forth, so I used an Aristocrat 3 position sight

I keep the 240 grain JHPs and the 180 grain JHPs both sighted in with just the turn of a knob. If I had known about the German sight, I probably would have used it just for it's uniqueness

Back in the day, Smith and Wesson offered various revolvers with a 4 position adjustable front sight. Obviously this was geared toward the Silhouette shooters.

Those of us that shot large bore handgun had targets at 25, 50, 100 and 200 meters. It is nice to have your handgun sighted for each distance instead of having to estimate so many inches hold over or hold under the line of sight

Unique and new sights can be disappointing. Anyone know the Trip K1 sight?Put one on a 1911 but was not very good.

Got an Aristocrat on my CZ75SA Super nice sight! But I must say, I never change settings, no need. But it has a good sight picture.

I do believe I counted 12 springs in that thing!

 

[smitholdtimer]

Quite an amount of engineering in a small package

I am looking forward to the English translation of the description?/instructions?/details? in the furnished LINK, you think there are folks who will pay the $460.00 price? I am willing to bet it's not that much improvement over the original sights on our S&W's but there are some of us who are drawn to the impressive engineering. Looking forward to more opinions.

Those look a little more complex and a little more adjustable than the rear sight on my M-520.

Very interesting sight. Could have used that on my PPC revolver some years ago. Looks to be a quality precision item.

"I am willing to bet it's not that much improvement over the original sights on our S&W's"

As colt_saa pointed out, it's for easy change of impact with either different loads, or more likely at different distances. S&W did sort of the same concept with a front sight for their silhouette revolvers.

I asked them for an English translation, when I do get more info I will post it.

Well, take that sight on the rear and combine it with the 4 position front sight that S&W put on the Silhouette sights you would have a large range of adjustment.

 

[CLASSIC12]

Much simpler but equally expensive, the original adjustable sight for the SIG P210 was 490 Swiss francs, today that's $ 505.-

I'll just wait for the movie.

I'd buy one. If it improves my scores, I'd buy several. S&W rear sights aren't the best in repeatability, especially when windage adjustments mess with your elevation. Not a big deal for those of you shooting at 25 yards, but it's a bother when regularly cranking screws to shoot out to 100yds or 200m....

 

[wv109323]

With that sight you would need a very tall front sight. The slide on an auto may be milled to lower the sight but that can not done on a revolver. 460 dollares can buy a lot of ammo for practice.

jeroenw114 I still have the "k" grips that I bought from you several years ago, they were target diamond grips that some one cut for a speed loader they are on my model 67 and look GREAT! Thanks Jeff (jrm53)
