S&W 617 SIGHT MODIFICATION

[Kittitas George]

Anyone experienced with sight changes on a S&W 617? My 686 has a HIVIZ green front sight and a XTREME shallow V with a vertical white line rear sight. I' looking for a S&W 617 either 4" or 6" barrel (thoughts on that?) and using the HIVIZ green on the front. My 83 y.o. color blind eyes see that the best. On the rear I'm thinking the deeper V sight that Brownell's sells for S&Ws. The correct height is needed. I've sent inquiries to the companies, but 'no reply'. That S&W maybe on sale at Brownell's this weekend.

Not an answer to your question but are you looking for a 6 shot or 10?
Not to hijack your question but I have a S&W 617-1 with 4” in 6 shot with box and papers I’d sell.

If you have interest I would send pics by PM

Yes, I would be very interested. I've been looking at all the sale sites. I would prefer a 6 shot instead of a 10.
Could/would you send the pictures to my PM, that would be better.
Thank you, George
