Lite Pipe style front sight for 5946

[qncygnnr]

Does anyone make a Lite Pipe type front sight that is a drop in replacement for the stock front sight on the Model 5946?

Novak makes a fiber optic front sight.

Thanks mlk18. From your post I'm going to assume that the Gen 3 S&W has a standard Novak front sight cut in the slide.

I decided to replace the "dead" factory tritium sights with an XS Sights Big Dot set (SW-0003P-5). Bo at XS was very helpful in identifying the correct drop-in replacements for my 5946 (items not on their website or their pdf catalog price list). I'll post before and after pictures next week when the set arrives.

According to the XS Rep that took my order today - I was the third person today to buy this set for what he called a "Big Smith". $128 ($120 + $8 shipping).

Pics of old and new sights - installation was much easier than originally anticipated. I can provide details of installation for those interested in the process.
