| I am looking for replacement sights for my S&W Model 19-3. It is a blued 4" with the adjustable rear sights and fixed front. I would like some ideas for replacement rear sights and also something for the front sight. It previously had nail polish on the front sight but I took that off, didn't work so well and was old, faded, and chipping. Any help greatly appreciated. |

On rear sights you have three options. 1. Replace with a factory rear sight. You can buy new sight assemblies from S&W or from Brownell's. You can buy these with black or white outline blades, OR you can replace your existing blade with either. 2. Buy a new Millett rear sight. These are drop-in replacements that fit th existing S&W sight cuts. Millet's come with your choice of plain black target blade, white outline, or two white dots for a three dot set up. You can buy these Millett sets from Brownell's or Midway. 3. Cylinder & Slide Shop sell a unique FIXED rear sight that converts the gun to a fixed, non adjustable sight for heavy-duty use. For the front sight, I "think" the 19-3 still has the front sight machined as part of the barrel and is non-replaceable. About the only option here is to have a colored insert installed in the blade, or just paint the blade with model airplane paint. This is durable, and comes in many colors. |
