Sights for 617-6

[SW357Addict]

Hello. I recently purchased a new 617-6 10-shot .22LR S&W and was wanting recommendations on replacement sights. I am wanted to swap out the front and rear for something more visible. I do not like fiber optic sights so I am thinking about a front Patridge gold bead sight with a rear white outline or a front red ramp with rear white outline. What are the standard heights of the 617 and what heights would I need to change to to keep my zero close to what the sights are now? Thanks.

To improve my visibility and speed at target acquisition I painted the top half of the partridge front sight with fluorescent orange model acylic paint - it worked wonders for me and is very economical.

Hi-Viz makes a front sight specific to the 617. I think standard rear sight height for the 617 is .136. White outline rear sights come in .126 and .146 from factory. I have a .126 w/o rear and Hi-Viz front for mine, but have not installed them yet.
