LPA Sights

I don't know if it's my computer or the S&W Forum but I can connect with any of the links provided in this thread. I get a window from the Forum saying it can't be done.


What's with that?

The LPA is a very good rear sight. I have them on a couple of my guns. In post #8, the gun on the left has my rear fiber optic sight that Cylinder and Slide was selling for a while. I still have those and front sights as well.

I guess this necro-thread deserves a response. Apparently LPA sights are well enough thought of for S&W to use them on some of the PC guns. The Competitor series uses them and I think some of the Hunter series.

They are steel and well made. I have them on several of my revolvers that I use for competition. Then I discovered Bowen Rough Country sights. Also steel and considerably more rugged.

LPA's used to be a bargain, but they have changed or added importers and the price has risen to the point where the Bowen's are competitively priced.

JMHO

Adios,

Well, I ordered a 50% discount rear sight LPA "as new in box".
Hopefully I'll love shoot my 67-6 more .

I put an LPA sight on my 617 and had to mill out the base of the sight to get it low enough to sight in. I could have changed the front sight to a taller one but I didn't want to do that.

Hi there,

So I tried my new LPA rear sight on my 67-6 4".
Here is the result at 27 yards using my 2 hands, single action, manufactured ammo Geco .38 wadcutters.

I'm not pretending to be a good shooter but I really enjoy the LPA sight, the accuracy is better and I'm able to aim very fast.

And here is a pic of my rear sight LPA, it was "plug&play", no modifications needed.
