Red dot setup for a K-frame?

[Topgun]

Okay. I've found some stuff in Cheaperthandirt. Like red dot scopes and sighting devices.

Great! They have NO indication of HOW to get it on the gun.

So.....if YOU were putting a red dot system on your K frame, what stuff would you use?

I like the "light rods" but will have to modify the barrel to do that as mine is a M66 without a pinned sight.

Who makes (and lists) a COMPLETE setup for making a better sighting system than the stock plastic red (that turns to black in my eye) setup from the factory?

TIA

Most revo's can be set up for red dot useage with a B-Square mount .... I have one on my SBH.

I think Natchez may be worth a look, amongst others.

Here's the SBH set-up ..........

generally .. the rear sight comes out ... and that area is main attachment .. further forward then you have a clamp on pair of aluminum ''arms'' that go just below barrel center ... they seem to hold OK and don't marr the finish too much.

Here is what I did with my model 15.



Had the fellas at www.cylinder-slide.com drill an tap the top strap in the standard S&W pattern. Added a mount from www.jackweigand.com and re-used a Leupold red dot I had on hand.

Nice set up that works great.

PsbcAim ,

With that B-Square mount on your SBH it has that SRH barrel look. Good looking rig!


Joe, fine looking M15! That's one of the better looking base, ring and scope set-ups I have seen on a blued Smith!

If your 66 is a modern one, it is drilled and tapped for a scope mount under the rear sight.
I used to have have a 67 (.38) that I put a weaver type scope mount on and a Trijicon Reflex II 'scope' on. It delivered 1" groups at 25 yards.
I think the mount was a Wiegand.
Open the cylinder, on the underside of the topstrap you can see if there are holes for a scope mount. If so, just order a weaver mount and mount it. No gunsmithing.

I used the Weigand rail with my dot. I can't post a link because of the firewall but do a search on Weigand and you should find it. All dots come with standard Weaver rings that work with the Weigand rail.
