Rear Sight Blade Height For a 627 Pro

[amlew1911]

Does anyone know the height of the rear sight blade on a current model 4 inch 627 Pro. S&W CS could only tell me the height of the front sight which is 0.230. Thank you

Does the rear sight currently have the sight slide in it? Run the windage all the way to the left then measure height of the portion of the slide that protrudes past the sight base using a micrometer or dial caliper, that is the height of the, probably, factory installed rear sight! Just that simple.

I don't have one to measure, but I'm considering getting one because of the interchangable DX style front sight it offers. Other aftermarket DX front sights come in different heights than factory. If I knew the height of the rear blade, then maybe I could figure out a proper height combo of rear sight and aftermarket DX front that would be to my liking.
