Novak Sights for 6906???

[huskerbob]

Found a set of Novak front & rear sights to fit my 6906. I've never used Novak sights before. Are they an improvement over the "stock" sights or is it just a matter of personal preference? Is $30 a good price?

Thanks!

Great price but I like night sights on mine because that is what I use at work. Trijicon SA08 are the correct ones for the 6906.

When you say "stock" sights - if your 6906 has the early blade rear sight, the slide will have to be machined to accept the Novak sight.

Thanks! You just saved me $30!!! I learn something on this forum almost every day!

Thanks again for the education! I think I'll just leave it like it is.........

Back when I owned a couple of 6906's I preferred Novak sights.

I agree that night sights are your best upgrade - Trijicon Bright & Tough™ Night Sights - Smith & Wesson 3904/06 , 6904/06 | Trijicon(R)

Confusing SA08 shows 6904/6906, 3913/3914/3953 AND 3904/3906 - I thought the 3904/3906 would pair with the 59xx series SA07 since main difference is slide length and hence height of front sight? And I believed 3906 / 5906 slides of similar vintage were interchangeable?
Help!

Several years ago I bought a 6906 slide and barrel from EBAY that I put on my 669. I got the sights I wanted and a barrel for less than it would have cost to have Novak style sights put on my slide.
