Looking to have a more visable rear sight on my mod. 65. American Handgunner had ad for a small fixed white outline sight that was machined into the rear notch of fixed J/K frames. I thought it was Hamilton Bowen doing this, but the website shows nothing on enhanced rear sight mods for fixed sight S&W's. Have I got the wrong gunsmith?

Greetings, yoopcampr, and welcome to the forum. 
Bowen Custom indeed used to offer this modification -- though certainly any good gunsmith set up for metalwork can. I notice, though, that the package that Bowen once offered that included this rear site isn't on their web page anymore.
I'd contact them and ask -- it was a good looking and functional improvement over trench sights.
Also, you'll probably get more and faster responses to questions if you choose a thread title describing the subject matter.

Bowen still has the sight I want-Woo Hoo! They are too backlogged to offer the installation. They recommended I ask Cylinder & Slide if they can install,which I did. Waiting to hear back. My eyes are going downhill 'n I need as good a sight picture as I can get as back-up to the Lasergrips.

Is that sight still on Bowen's website somewhere? I can't seem to find it when I look. There used to be a conversion done on small frame Smiths (by King, maybe??) that put a higher visibility blade in them. I'd really love to find somebody doing those for CCW.
