S&W 686 COMPETITOR

[RCN1]

I love the gun it shoots 1 1/2 inch groups at 25 yds consistantly. Saying that I had on issue which was the LPA sights. The rear sight was fine but the front sight was too low causing the impact at 25 yds to be 5 inches high when the rear sight was at its lowest point. I would have to hold a sub 6 in hold to hit the middle of the bull.
The front sight height was.423 and it was hard to find a company that made dovetail sights for the gun. Finaly found Revolver Supply Co that had the sights I needed a .450 fiber optic sight that works great. Now the gun hits point of aim at 25 yds.
Thought I would pass along as I have read other members with the same issue.

When targets and competition meant bullseye, using the "6 o'clock hold" for paper targets was in fashion. Now most of us prefer the military or center hold. With the interchangeable front sights, its easy to change to what you want to use.
What once was a "feature" has become an "issue."
