S&W pinned front sight
Good sight, BUT, why isn't it drilled for the pin ?
Description
Is there really a difference with Dawson Precision® sights? You bet there is!
While other sights give off a hazy glow making it difficult to focus, Dawson Precision® sights offer you the sharpest picture. We counterbore the blade so the optic is recessed. This subtle difference focuses the light in the sight making it not only brighter, but clearer. A fully cradled optic provides a longer optic lifespan.

Good sight, BUT, why isn't it drilled for the pin ?
This is not my first Dawson fiber optic front sight and it won't be my last. It is high quality and precise. It is easily fitted to the gun with minimal effort.
Fit snug and after drilling the roll pin hole, I used a dit if blue lock tite for semi permanent fit. Much better than original Smith and Wesson sight. This sight is on of many I have purchased from Dawson. Love every one of them and they are a Texas based company.
I have installed this front sight on my 686 and the fit was perfect . I had previously installed front and rear fiber optic Dawson sights on my CZ 75 PO1 with good results. Drilling the #54 pin hole was a challenge but the sight material was mild steel and drilled easily. I like the fact that Dawson sends spare red and green light pipes so you have a choice of colors for your dot. I also like Dawson’s selection of sight heights to perfectly match your existing sight height and maintain your rear sight adjustment.
This is a great product. It made a big difference in my accuracy and in ease of target acquisition. I am glad I got it and I highly recommend it. It is a quality product that actually makes a difference.
Perfect fit on my S&W 586.
Easy to install while following include instructions. Greatly improved the visibility of the front sight for my 63 year old eyes.!
fits perfect ! easy to drill . 055 dia hole for sight pin . my fixed sights snub revolver now shoots to point of aim instead of 3" low, and I now have some light on either side of the rear sight
Just what I was looking for ! many front sight width & height options to get my sights just the way I like them ! previously I had to get a machinest to lower or make a norrower front sight , the fiber optic & titrinum insert are another +
If the Dawson Precision® recommended sights do not zero your pistol, we will give you one new front sight that has the required height to correct the point of impact to your specification, free of charge. (Dawson Precision's Perfect Impact® Promise)
