Went to the XS website and searched for “Big Dot” and LCR. Found the sight for the LCP but didn’t see any for the LCR and in my case the .327 LCR.XS Big Dot, I would say.

I got the one above from amazon, but xs has 30% off at the moment:
Standard Dot Revolver Front Sight - Ruger
XS Revolver Big Dot Night Sights fit Ruger LCR and SP101 revolvers. Big, Bright, and easy to see. The dual illuminated colored front sight equipped with tritium and photoluminescent dot gives you the perfect day/night sight upgrade. CNC steel sights machined in FT. Worth, TXxssights.com
Fit: *Ruger LCR (.38/.357 Only)
No 327 LCRRuger SP101 (fixed rear)
Well, it obviously works……Dan-O, on the XS link you sent it says:
No 327 LCR
The “big” dots are quite a bit larger. The standard dot is still pretty ‘big’ if you ax me. It’s just semanticsIs that a “Big Dot”?
The only “Big Dot” sights on Amazon I see are for Glocks.
So you’re saying the Big Dot that’s labeled: “Ruger LCR (.38/.357 Only)” will fit on a 327 ?Well, it obviously works……
Getting older and I’m having trouble focusing on the LCR front sight that comes with the gun. What would be a good replacement?
Found this but it’s for the 357 LCR:
I concur. It’s a snub nose revolver. I have no business shooting this thing at targets over 15 yards, and it hits where I point it.Not sure what the POI would be with a 38/357 XS will be on the 327, but, I'll say that my XS is a massive upgrade to my LCR, significantly better with my declining eyesight.

Exactly what I did with my LCR front sight- Rear sight "trench" is fairly wide, a couple dabs of nail polish on the front ramp and a clear coat over the top. Sight is easy to see, even in dim light, effective on targets and long lasting.dollar store women's nail polish.......it inexpensive, long lasting, and you can be selective in color.
clean the existing sight with alcohol.
lay down the color you want on the ramp. Let dry and put another coat on. Let dry and put a clear coat on, let dry and another clear coat.
mine has lasted for over three years without touch-up and i carry daily. I did the whole ramp and it really makes it pop. I used some weird color somewhere between neon orange and red for lack of a better description. The grand daughter ran off with my bottle (LOL) When i decide to re-do it, think i will go with a neon yellow.
it might just be what you need. If not, you are only out a day and 5 bucks.
Using the XS Big Dot for the 357 on your 327 LCR, if you’re at 10 yards aiming dead center, where will you hit? At 15 yards?I concur. It’s a snub nose revolver. I have no business shooting this thing at targets over 15 yards, and it hits where I point it.

I like the XS Ember Sights, not tritium but very bright and are they are standard dot size. Much cheaper than tritium sights and they come in correct heights too.Getting older and I’m having trouble focusing on the LCR front sight that comes with the gun. What would be a good replacement?
Couldn’t have said it betterThe height of the site will vary based on the caliber. In the LCR for instance, a sight that is better suited for a 327 round @ 1,300fps will not provide the same poa to poi when firing 32 S&W longs from the same gun.
For me, my LCR 327 needs to be minute of man accurate at the distances in my house and usual parking garage spaces but probably much closer. It will be so with any of the 32 fodder I've mentioned. For head shots on a hostage taker I'd want a different gun.
