NS Woes

[Boge]

I bought a Novak Tritium NS for my .357 LCR the other day and mounted it easily enough. One roll pin to drift out & back in. That's the good news. The bad news is that whereas before it shot dead nuts on it now shoots at least 6" low at 10 yds.!!! I'm going to remount the factory sight as this is just unacceptable. It's too big and I feel like I'm trying to sight with a blob.

That's why they say, if it ain't broke, don't break it. :lol:

I just wanted to see at night. :lol: :wink:

To "see at night" suggest learning a flashlight technique; night sights only allow you to see your sights at night.

I'm going to tape a flashlight on to my Alaskan. It'll be tacti-cool. :lol:

The .357 magnum LCR can be purchased with a XS® Standard Dot Tritium front sight. Is that the same thing? Looks like it might be too high. Thanks for the info. 8) 8)

I parctice in a dark range when ever I can and I really found I am far better with night sights then I am with a flashlight alone. My personal preference is two contrasting colors and my Glocks I like a green front sight and orange rear sights. If the three dots were all the same color (say green) I found that sometimes in a dark situation it was not easy to pick out which of the three dots was the front.

I think that odds are good that if I ever need to use my pistol to defend myself it will be in the dark. Besides, if I want to shoot tiny groups I use my 1911, if I want to defend my life I grab a Glock!
