Why are the sights on revolvers designed for CCW so primitive compared to their semi-auto counterparts?
On a semi designed for carry, I can find the same sights that full sized models have, right off the shelf. Nice square notch, night sights, and all easy to see.
In comparison, the revolvers just have a rear V-notch in the same color as the rest of the revolver, and a square front sight.
It seems to me that the rear area could have a ramp built in, giving a mini-Novak profile. This would be deep enough with the groove that is already there to give a nice, deep square notch without adding significantly to the revolver's profile. Add a little tritium or white dots while blackening the sight area gives a nice, clear sight picture for all lighting conditions.
