Fixed sight revolvers

[Squib_Load]

I am a great fan of the S&W Models 10, 64, 581, 24, 57, etc. As long as the sights are close to POI they're the better choice IMO.

Fixed sight 4" barrel can't be beat for a house or carry gun.

S&W Model 10 - THE BEST DOUBLE ACTION EVER MADE. I've given them as gifts.

I second that!
I have adjustable sight revolvers and after they are sighted in never move the sights again.
Like k-frame fixed sight revolvers the best. Wish I could find more that I could afford.

I have pre 10 and 64 snub would like either one with 4" barrel.

How do I get on the gift list ?!?!?!?! ��

Adjustable sights for me. Although I own a couple of fixed sight revolvers, including a S&W model 10. Adjustable sights are easier to see and if one shoots at any distance, they are invaluable when using different ammo. I carried adjustable sight revolvers for many years and never had any issue with durability.

Back in the 1970s the Model 10-6 was the issue sidearm for uniform police
officers in Boise. The Model 10-5 with 2" barrel was what the plain cloths
guys carried. I never heard any complaints.

Fixed sight handguns are probably the best for a carry piece/home defense gun. The front sight is all I have ever used in one of those scenarios.

An adjustable sighted gun is great for hunting/target work, where you have time to align the sights.

Tough to beat a fixed sighted Smith for a serious woods gun.

 

[BLACKHAWKNJ]

When they are dead on for you they are heard to beat. Charlie Askins said he sighted in the Colt New Services issued to the Border Patrol in the 1930s, said he made a tool to adjust the front sights for windage though he gave no details.

58, 1917, 13-2, 36-1, 640-1 Pro & .32 RP

What's not to like?

I painted the front sights on my carry guns (2" Taurus 856 [L], 4" S&W 65 [R]) with neon orange fingernail polish. I don't have any pistols or revolvers with adjustable sights.

Sent with some arcane communications device.

Agreed, fixed sight revolvers are the ultimate no frills handgun. I would love to see the 619,681, and 64 make a comeback ... especially with three inch barrels. Fixed sight stainless N frames would be awesome as well.

 

[mikerjf]

Fixed for me as well. I'd... well, do considerable... for one of the Camfour fixed-sight 629 snubs.

 

[WCCPHD]

I also like fixed sight guns better. The Model 13 I was issued (my last issued revolver) was my favorite duty weapon.

Here are a few of mine.

Had a 4 inch M13-3. Great carry revolver.

Bring back the 629 Camfour!

I agree...bring back the 629 2 1/2" Camfour...

Sometimes things are a bit off, however...

I have a 37 snub and 10-5 snub that print way high. Only with 110 gr high velocity loads to they hit close to POA.

I was trained by IDF Military that have no use for adjustable sights, snap shooting they call it here, in Israel its 7,10, 25 M ( not yds) timed. The Best wheel gun I own is a Mdl 10-4 and a 4 inch 28 that has gutter (fixed) sights.

 

[diyj98]

I have no used for a fixed sighted gun outside of a j frame. For my uses of hunting or paper punching, I always want adjustable sights. It's one of the few things I agree with Elmer Keith on.

I have always liked snubby sixguns (five-guns, too) with fixed sights. After years spent shooting Vaqueros in Cowboy Action games fixed sights are a natural for me.
