J-frame sights

Post by AndytheAxe »

I recently got a used 2003 S&W model 60 for CCW and took it to the range. I found when I put the front sight height matching the height of the rear sights like my other S&Ws, it shoots low. Clearly I need to have the right sight above the rear a little but it's not clear how much. Does anyone know what the right sight picture would be?

Its more of a combat sight, just cover the target. On several of mine I even replaced it with a Big Dot. I figure a .357 center mass is the best one can do, esp double action.

Use some blue dot loads. if you're close enough you'll light them on fire even if you miss.
