So "you can't hit nothin" with a 2" Smith and Wesson? In reality the gun needs to be shot by people who practice in order to make the guns viable much beyond arms length. When boredom or the quest for excellence - the two are probably close cousins - allows us to push the envelope a bit, we often get some cool stuff out of it. This is especially the case in the quest if you include Hamilton Bowen in the mix. Hamilton told me about a new sight for the S&W 2" guns and for me, it instantly solved two problems. The first and best is it makes for a sight I can see for a change. Second, the sights can be adjusted to give maximum sight performance, and can even be set to a pet sport or defense load.

In their always-expert way, Bowen's shop mills the barrels and installs a replaceable front sight. The rear of the frame is milled and a small sight is set in place. Both sights are a lot larger and much easier to see and properly align than originals, and mine has a white bar on the front and a white outline on the rear. The front goes .125" and the rear opening comes in at .140". In case you wondered, the gun still fits all my holsters, including my preferred ankle holster.

Hamilton being Hamilton, he has several different height and width sizes available to help set the sights up to be as effective as possible. The idea of sighted fire with this gun makes for an opening in the door of complaints that this sight is not logical. I agree to a degree, except for the subtle nuance it is pretty stunning to whack steel plates at 50 yards with a gun I most often plan on using at less than five feet. Think about it.
