Numrich sold adjustable sights for S&W 39 & 59 pistols. I have no idea who made them. Pachmayr offered adjustable sights for the S&W 422/622/2206 series, perhaps for other models as well.
Ah, thanks! This gun was my first S&W auto and next thing you know... well, it hadn't been out of the safe in years and i didn't know they were aftermarket upgrades when i got it.. i was handling it last night and was like, woah! the first thing i noticed was that it's got a great site picture, better than i expected out of a 59.. It looks like mmc doesn't make them for anything s&w, much less a 59

I have one Model 59 with an MMC rear sight and another one with the factory sight. The MMC were a great improvement over the factory sight.
Hope this helps.

Is MMC still in business, or is anyone still making their product line? They made some neat little sights for some guns for which there were no substitutes. I remember first reading about their products in articles fromthe late Skeeter Skelton. IIRC, he had them fit their compact little adjustable sights to a small frame semi aut pistol. They had a great reputation from what I remember.

Yes, they're making sights, but the rights to the sights were bought out by another company, so it's not the same company as the original. I would guess the quality would be equal, but I have no personal experience with the newer sights. https://www.sightsinc.com/Is MMC still in business, or is anyone still making their product line?

Thank you!! I thought they were gone. Long ago, I thought of replacing the fixed rear sight on my High Standard Sentinel revolver with the one made for Gov't Models. I may get one yet.
