I am looking for a higher front sight for my Smith. I would prefer a finished product, not a blank, as I am not the most skilled guy with a file. Anyone know who carry's them?

Thanks

S&S Firearms has brass blades for Smith front sights. I got one for a teammate last week. Just tap out the original blade with a brass rod or pin and tap blade in. Fit is perfect. It took 2 minutes. You will need to file to sight in. No talent needed for filing, just protect the barrel finish.

I have been distracted by hunting season however I am still in need of the higher front sight. In regards to my skills with a file it would be criminal for me to attempt it myself. Does anyone carry anything other than the brass blanks that need to be shaped?

Filing on the replacement blanks is only to adjust elevation after install. The Smith front sight blanks I have installed have been direct replacement with no fitting other than height adjustment. Just keep taking one swipe with the file at a time on the top of the new blade as you shoot until you get to the desired point of impact.
