Red Dot Sight for S&W revolver

[cybersnow]

I am in the market for a .357 mag, but was thinking of putting a red dot sight on it. Is this feasible?

 

[joe44va]

Yes. Here's my 629 with a Burris Fast Fire 3 and an Allchin mount.

I have an Ultradot on my 686.

TRR8 or R8 come from the factory ready to go

I don't have any red dots on my revolvers, but have a Trijicon RMR on a Glock 19 and a older doc 3 on a Glock 17. If your of the age that the front sight is fuzzy, it's a great option. The ability to just focus on trigger control, grip etc... not worrying about sight picture is really nice.

I have a J point on my 625, just wish you could turn it off when not in use. Other than that it's great

I have red dots on several revolvers:

Jpoint on a 986 using their S&W mount. I think the Alchin looks better.

like this??

My 686 competitor and vortex SPARC on an American Defense QR mount.


Standard 686 with same optic setup except I used a Warne Maxima rail.
Both guns I could remove the optic for iron sights and quickly put the red dot on and it stayed zeroed.

My 627 Pro Series has the FFlll and Allchin set up. I love it.

I like the Fast Fire III on an Alchin mount. I also like the C-more. C-more with a 16 minute dot for Steel shooting is the best I've found.

I have decided that I want to buy a 4-5 inch barrel and a competition quality gun. I will be carrying it in open carry so I am looking for something I can holster. How do I find the right rail? Alchin? FFlll? Which gun?b686 or 627?

Went to their site but could not figure out which mount you have on the gun pictured. I like that setup. What's the part number?

 

[series guy]

On the Allchin home page click on STS scope mounts at the top left of the page. You're looking for the S&W mini STS scope mount. Available in silver or black.

BTW any factory gun you buy won't be competition ready. In the last two months three friends have purchased 9mm Performance Center revolvers and all three have needed a little action work to be ready to shoot. My 627 pictured above had a terrible D/A trigger when purchased. It really doesn't take much work on these new guns to get a really nice 2lb. S/A and 8lb. D/A trigger but it needs done.

My R8.

I have a 625 with the J Point using the J point mount... sits very low on the frame.

I have a JPoint on my hunting handgun, it sits right in the rear sight channel.

Do you use the hood when not in use, it saves on battery life.

I found the Allchin mount, thanks. One thing I noticed is that it uses two screws to mount it. The Allchin description mentioned that some pistols come pre drilled and tapped. Is this true or do I add that to my list of things for the gunsmith to do?
