The PO of my 629-5 Mountain Gun replaced the front sight with an XS big dot and I would like to get the original one back on there. The problem is I cannot seem to find one in stock and S&W customer service just keeps putting me on hold for 10min at a time. Does anyone know where I can find one in stock or the part number?
Also I need some grips that take up some more recoil than these. Does anyone know where I can get some Hogue Tamers without buying them S&W? And what's a gun thread without a photo: 
Thanks -Irish |

I highly recommend the new Pachmayr Diamond Pro model grips. I put a set on my 3" 629 and I really like them. They absorb recoil really well. The backstrap of the frame is covered with rubber which helps a lot to tame recoil.
Here's a pic of one on a 629 but this isn't mine...

I wonder if you called Dawson Precision, or another front sight maker, they might have some clean used ones laying around.....leftover from fiber optic installs |

Mountain Backpacker ... I have one like it, much less common than the Mountain Gun.

Thanks for the info everyone. I will look into the dawson precision route, I hadn't even thought of that. I've had good luck with Pachmayrs in the past so I will look into a set of those too.
I was originally looking for a Mountain Gun and came across mine on armslist. Its a fun gun to shoot. It gets some looks at the range since it is so short and ported. The PO had a trigger job done on it at some point as well and it is almost too light. |

I didn't comment on grips, but my MG pictured above has a set of modified Hogue rubber grips. The finger grooves have been sanded off. I love these grips, they fit my hand better than anything else I've tried.
Hogue now sells the rubber grips without the finger grooves. I have another 3 inch 629 with a set of Ahrends grips, I love the looks but prefer rubber for the range.

No luck so far on the front sights. Still looking. I tired out some of the Hogues on a S&W 500 at a gun shop the other day and they fit pretty well. I am still debating grip options, but I need to fire some through one before I decide I think.

Anyone seen a set of sights in the wild in the last month? I haven't had any luck. Also I ordered a set of Pachmayr Diamond Pros. I'll post up a review once they get here and get some range time. They have good reviews on S&W forum.

I probably called S&W 3-4 times last year for parts.
Each time they hooked me up. |
