Sights for Smith & Wesson

Most Smith & Wesson sights on this site are made by LPA in Italy, and they fall into two groups: revolvers and automatics.

Revolvers

The rear sight seat is the same on the K, L, N and X frames, so one LPA rear can fit a .22 Model 17 and a .500. Rears go on with the factory screws, and sets add a fiber front, in versions for each front fixing, two finishes and a red dot ready form. A Zendl blank rear and a fiber front for the Competitor models complete the range. The frame must have the factory scope base holes. Start with Sights for Smith & Wesson 686 or Sights for Smith & Wesson 629.

Pistols

The M&P has LPA adjustable sets; the M2.0 Optics Ready co-witness and tritium sets; the SD9 VE and SD40 VE tritium. Older automatics, the third generation and the 645 and 745, have adjustable rears. See Sights for Smith & Wesson M&P or Sights for Smith & Wesson 3rd Generation.
