LPA Sights

[Cary]

I was taking a look at these sights and was curious if anyone here has a set on their S&W. Are they good quality?

One of the best sights I've used. I've had two, on both of my Model 627s. They are easy to see and adjustments are solid.

 

[Revolver King]

I like them a lot too. Here are a couple of sets.

Thanks for the information and the picks.

I have had a LPA TXT sight on my 686, super quality and super sight picture

But I swapped to Millett's for the more classic look.

Revolver_King: My I ask what kind of sights you have on the revolver second from right? (Guess: Bowen?)
The ones on the right and left I can't identify too.

OK here goes on the four revolvers shown in the picture the sights are as follows. 1st one on left is from cyl. & slide, the 2nd one is a LPA, the 3rd one is a Wiegand replacement insert that replaces the original blade and the last oneon right is Meprolight night sights.

When you use the LPA rear sight do you need to change out the S&W stock front sight? Are you using the LPA front sight as well?

It can be used with the original front sight.

I got LPA front & rear set for my 610. OUTSTANDING and highly effective for 'geezer eyes'!!!

If I could afford them, they'd be on ALL my revolvers.

Dont know about the revolver sights but they produced the adj sights on the Browning High Power sport and they are excellent sights.

Is the front sight of metal construction as well?

[Revolver King]

I always use SDM fiber optic front sights because they are very good sights, nice and bright, and yes they are steel.

Thank you all for the information. I'm 56 and have the "tired eyes" as well. I was contemplating a different sight set up on my stock M620.

If I not misstake me, the LPA sight is also possible to order with white outline if this is of interest.

I did actually visit the LPA factory in Gardone, Brescia 2 years ago, realy nice small factory in the heart of Italys gun manufacturing dsitrict.

I remember when we used to laugh and count the shots in westerns and some cops & robbers tv shows when some guy would shoot 7 or 8 times w/o reloading.

Still seems wrong to have a revolver with 7 or 8 holes.

I've been looking around for the adjustable rear sights for S&W revolvers and it looks like there are not a lot of them offered now other than the LPA. It looks like an excellent sight but I was just shopping and seeing what was offered on the market.

re: "Still seems wrong to have a revolver with 7 or 8 holes.".....that sensation goes away the more you shoot the 627. Before long anything else seems....odd.....

Yup remember when I shot my first handgun that held 20 rounds and I was used to 9 rounds, didn't think I was ever getting through and had a tired trigger finger.

Funny thing was I could not hit worth crap with the gun and eventually traded it off. FN 5N7 great gun but when you can't hit anything but the ground it's time to get rid of the gun.

Hi guys,

I know the thread is old but I’m thinking to purchase this LPA rear sight :

I would like to know if it’s possible to raise the rear sight more than the original one please ?

Thank you
