I went to the range today to test my first alteration to the front sight blade (fsb). At 30' ft with bench rest, using my favorite .357 load, I aimed at the dead center of the 2" black circle. The first shot was a 'flinch' (bottom of target, pretend it isn't there), so I buckled down and didn't flinch again. It is 12 shots, and the results are just about perfect. My 38sp's shoot a pinch higher, but that's just fine with me. As it stands, I am very happy with the results. Also included is the final result of the shape of the blade itself. I feel successful in my attempt to adjust the fsb, and zero scratches to the gun to boot.

Looks good and you're pleased with the results. Sounds like "mission complete" to me.

Looks like the original sight. No one will never know. Well Done.
