If I hadn't just put a red dot on my 19 I would be grabbing these.

I have always been happy with the factory sights on Smith and Wesson revolvers.

I don't see what these do better.

A U notch rear, which some prefer.

Of all the revolvers I've owned, most of which have been police trade ins, I've had one S&W police trade in that had a damaged rear sight blade- it looked like it had been dropped and landed on it.  It was still perfectly functional and shot to point of aim but the corner was deformed a bit.  I picked up another rear sight blade and replaced it (then foolishly traded it at some point).  I suppose the Wilson sight might have held up better but either way if I whack an adjustable sight with any real force I'm going to recheck my zero. Being Wilson it should be a quality product, just not sure who the intended market is.

ETA- Didn't see the U notch, personal preference and all but I don't like the Big Dot front sights.

FWIW, I put one of the new Wilson rear sights on my GP100. Big fan of it so far.

Won't fit any of my Smiths so a moot point to me.  They look like they may be a bit heavier construction but it's hard to tell.  I've never had any issues with the older style sight.

It only fits the ones with the hole near the thumb piece.

Id like to try it

I really loved U notch on some pistols I have

Feel the factory rear sights are okay but could be improved upon

More options is always a good thing

The U notch would be cool with a gold bead front sight.  Still classic, but with a custom flair.

Ugh, old guns are icky.  You should send them to me and buy yourself nice shiny new guns.  

I didn't notice it was only for newer guns, the one one I have with a lock is a 360 (with a plug in place) so I couldn't try one anyways (fixed sights).

I just bought a safe rack to fit more revolvers in!


Not a lock on any one of them!
