Took my 1958 Vintage Model 19 out this morning.
Real nice revolver. Not real clean cosmetically but it shoots well.
It had been quite some time since I last fired it, And my skills have improved, I am Glad to say. Up until the last couple years or so, I shot so poorly there was no point in adjusting the sights. No longer the case. While I had a flyer or two in each Cylinder , It was not long before it was plain to see a raged hole Right and high. Adjusted down fine, But the Windage adjustments. are not moving. The Screw is turning at both ends but the blade is not moving in either direction.
I watched a Brownell's video on changing the blade, But did not learn much that might help me figure out what's wrong.
Thinking I might send it to Smith And have them Fix or replace the sight. ZOr can I just Order a new sight assembly.. Are they the same as 65 years ago? Replacing the whole assembly myself might well be Cheaper than Shipping the revolver Twice?
Opinions please?
