Revolver Front Sight - Smith & Wesson

Upgrade to S&W Revolver Night Sights!

Easily upgrade your Smith and Wesson pinned revolver ramp sight with a precise sight picture!

Our front sights are a superior upgrade over factory ramp sights. The sight acquisition is faster, and alignment is more repeatable than ramp sights.

See your sights in low light! Whether you're rocking your wheel gun for EDC, as a backup gun, or as a nightstand gun, you need to see your sights in the dark. Our photoluminescent and tritium front sights are the brightest low-light option on the market.

Improve your accuracy with a precision sight picture. Ramp sights make precision shots difficult because setting the elevation repeatedly and quickly is hard. Our dot front sights make shooting easy. Simply put the bottom of the dot in the channel and cover the spot on the target you want to hit with the whole sight.

Choose Your Front Dot Size: Big or Standard

Big Dot: If your priority is speed and visibility under stress, the XS Big Dot delivers. The oversized front sight pulls your eye in fast, making it ideal for self-defense, close-quarters scenarios, and extreme back country situations. The dot-the-‘i’ sight picture lets you align and fire fast without overthinking it.

Standard Dot: For shooters who want more precision at greater distances, the smaller Standard Dot provides a refined aiming point while still offering the same 24/7 glow and express sight picture. It's a perfect choice for target shooting, hunting, or anyone who prefers a finer sight picture without sacrificing visibility.

Classic with a Twist
XS now offers a hand-polished brass bead; the convex face reflects more light than flat-faced factory or competitor offerings, allowing for the cleanest view and the best reflection of ambient light. Brass is less expensive and more durable than gold, and our bead is hand polished using Flitz polishing products with a light protective layer that will minimize oxidization. Brass does not replace tritium on an EDC revolver; our retro classic brass front sights are optimized for range or field use.

Brass Product Features:

• Hand-polished, convex brass bead for best light reflection
• Classic retro high visibility front sight
• Standard Dot front measures 0.140" 
• Durable CNC machined steel
• Kit Includes: front sight, roll pin, red threadlocker, insert with instructions

The sights are CNC machined from solid steel bar stock by our in-house machine shop. We design, machine, and insert our tritium to produce the highest quality possible and provide American Made products.

Installation Options: Pre-Drilled vs. Match-Drilled

Pre-Drilled: Designed for the confident DIYer, pre-drilled sights are ready to install with basic tools. No drill or mill work needed. Just steady hands, thread locker, possible file, and a clean bench. This is the go-to option for most shooters.

Match-Drilled: For those wanting a factory-tight fit with zero movement, the match-drilled option requires a gunsmith or machinist with access to a drill press or other tools. It’s more time-intensive but offers the most precise front sight installation possible.

S&W J Frame (Fixed Rear): Pin Hole Must Be Drilled. View Written Installation Instructions.

S&W J Frame Integral Front (Fixed Rear): Installation for the J-Frame with an integral front requires a gunsmith to mill away most of the existing front sight ramp. Any two-part epoxy, like JB Weld, then affixes the Big Dot onto the existing stub. View Written Installation Instructions.

S&W Bodyguard 38: Installation requires drilling hole(s) in sight, might require filing to fit sight to frame. View Written Installation Instructions.
