That is great! I have that same gun and I love it! It has plenty of thump, packs easily and is a pleasure to shoot!

I'm running 250gr XTP's with 27gr of H110 which is giving me 1350fps and it's extremely accurate, more so than me.

Nice choice, Rod!

Thanks guys, Whitworth I saw a pic of yours, you ought to look into the Hi Viz sight for it. They are about 25.00 from Brownells and make a huge difference in the sight pic. I also use a permanent metal paint and a pick or tooth pick and color in the rear sight outline so it looks like a factory job. I prefer the green as it seems brighter in low light.

Rod, I have never really like HiViz siights. Does this one differ from the ones Smith & Wesson puts on their X-frames? I am open to trying one out.

they are similiar as most of them are but this one in green is really bright. You won't notice it under artificial light but take it out in the evening and it really shows up good.

It looks tall like the stock piece, is it? Hmm, maybe I should give one a try.

Looks sweet Rod. Maybe you can nail a bear with it. Hey Whit, I was never a fan of hy viz either till I put one on my XDM 40 I use in competition. My times went way down and scores way up. Very quick to find!

Whitworth, it is fairly tall and almost the same height as the factory. I have plenty of adjustment with it using the factory rear sight.
