Interchangeable Front Sights |

For serious shooters looking for a way to precisely zero their firearm, and be able to change their zero, yet have the durablity of fixed sights. This DLS interchangeable front sight system is the solution. It does require a skilled gunsmith / machinist to properly install. Once the steel base is machined approximately .150" deep into the steel portion of the host firearm (such as an N frame S&W) the base can be cross pinned into the steel. The sight blades are then interchangeable (when the firearm is unloaded and the clyinder is open) by the user. There are no springs and or plungers in this DLS design. The blades are quad locked in place once the correct blade is selected. Once locked in place, it becomes a fixed sight with the base. The problem of fly off front sights has been eliminated. An excellent choice for a custom build. This system can be used with DLS heavy duty fixed rear sights. |

All D&L sights and mounts are precision machined from a solid block of steel. All are made in the USA. These are sights and mounts that you can depend on. |

Ultra precision is required for professional sight installation. Due to the very limited barrel material available, you only get one chance to do this upgrade correctly. Much set up time is required for each installation. The end result is worth the time and effort. |

Dave,
The D&L sights I had you install on my S&W revolver was the best modification I ever had done on a firearm. |

Positive changes in revolver design and function have been too long coming. I'm glad that someone with the talent and experience of Dave Lauck have stepped up to the challenge.
Good job! |

D&L Sports Sights |
by Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Mike Wood |
...Revolvers deserve rugged, easy to see, properly-regulated sights just as much as autos do, and can probably take even better advantage of them than the bottom-feeders. If only we could get the people who built these guns to understand that... Fortunately for us, one guy who does understand that is acclaimed gunsmith Dave Lauck.... |

Warning: |
Shooters who use some interchangeable front sight designs which hold the front sight in place with a spring plunger, instead of solidly locking the front sight in place like the DLS design does, can unexpectedly lose their front sight. Oftentimes this problem will start when re-holstering the revolver. The front of the front sight will catch on the top lip of the holster, and the shooter will push past the catch point. This will push the front sight to the rear and unhook the front sight from the cross pin anchor. The spring plunger then pushes the sight out of the sight slot. When the revolver is drawn thereafter, the sight will fall out of the revolver. This insecure sight retention design must be corrected to assure your front sight is not lost under field or duty conditions. |

Caution: |
Whenever fitting sights onto your revolver leave the cylinder open or out to assure the revolver is completely unloaded, and to assure that top strap screws do not come too far through and make contact with the cylinder. Test fit the sight and screws to determine if the screws need to be shortened before doing the final blue loctite installation. |
