I posted this question on another forum (Singleactions.com), but want to cast a broader "brain net." Someone here is likely to have an idea.
My Service Six shoots 4" high at 20 yards with moderate 158 and 180 cast loads. Both shoot very close to the same POI at that distance, and I am not going to tailor loads to change the POI, because these loads are my "standard" in my 3" Charter 357 and my general-purpose loads in the Contender Carbine 357.
I need a TALLER sight and I need it to be a patridge-style sight.
Snooping around, I see there's a pin-in patridge-style sight for S&W DAs, it's not at all expensive and it's just a fuzz taller than I need. If it's not too THIN, I can make it fit. If the radius on the tennon is larger than the Ruger's, I can make that fit too. I have not been able to locate dimensions anywhere so I can make the comparison. I can MAKE one, as I have before, but having the serrated rear surface of the commercial sight is highly preferable.
I was wondering if anyone here had an idea how close (if at all) the Ruger and S&W pinned front sights are to interchanging.
Thanks for any input.
