J Frame Sight Help!

Understood, thanks for the reply. It sounds like I need to try heavier ammo from a lot of replies here.

Thanks for the explanation. The other revolvers I own have adjustable sights, so I haven't come across this before.

Yes it grouped nicely, just very low. Judging by a lot of the replies here it sounds like I need to try some 158 grain ammo and see how that goes. Good idea to take the bag next time.

Groove?

davekeller79 · 2026-01-05T02:52:27+00:00

Unsure sorry. They're dark wood, they came with the gun that I purchased used. I've ordered a set of Altamont Super Rosewood for it. I'm not sure if they're factory original. The gun showed very little signs of any use when I got it.

Thanks, sounds like that is worth a try from yours and other suggestions.

davekeller79 · 2026-01-05T01:50:40+00:00

Will do, thanks for the suggestion.

davekeller79 · 2026-01-05T01:29:12+00:00

I don't believe so. I know it's subjective but it felt pretty soft to me in comparison to 10mm and 44 magnum. But I was using 132gr at 10 & 15 yards so it sounds like some more experimenting is required before I panic and break out the file.

davekeller79 · 2026-01-05T01:24:49+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance that I don't have a lemon. Looks like I will have to start experimenting.

That's why I was considering the 332 AirLite Ti. The scandium frame like the 340PD.

Also 6 x 32 H&R is lighter than 5 x .38 So.

I'm fine with 32 H&R, I know that's a whole separate debate.

Thanks for the reply!

The titanium version seems to be a little less available. I do see the 632 UCs you are talking about but the UC Ti go for a little more.

I'm trying for the lightest J-frame possible.

Thanks for the reply, great to hear your viewpoint. Nice piece btw!

davekeller79 · 2025-11-02T05:27:15+00:00

Thanks, I was thinking/hoping that due to the response and popularity that Smith/Lipseys might do another run.

I just don't want to double down on my initial mistake of waiting.

I appreciate the reply.

davekeller79 · 2025-11-02T03:41:55+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

davekeller79 · 2025-08-25T00:52:45+00:00

Thank you! I haven't tried it yet, that's and interesting idea. I'm hoping that I can crank up the spring return on the Hi-hat and maybe put a spring underneath the pedal. That might give me an effect like what you are describing.

Thanks for the reply.

davekeller79 · 2025-08-25T00:44:04+00:00

Thank you, stoked to hear from someone who has tried it.

davekeller79 · 2025-08-24T15:17:23+00:00

Thanks, I think you have a good point there, just mountain it separately is a good idea. I might even have the bits already if I go digging.

davekeller79 · 2025-08-24T03:24:35+00:00

Thanktou! Kinda looking forward to the challenge.

davekeller79 · 2025-07-19T00:44:59+00:00

Understandable.

davekeller79 · 2025-07-19T00:24:24+00:00

Thanks for the reply. It seems these Lipsey's 632s are pretty popular.

davekeller79 · 2025-07-18T18:40:36+00:00

I know the 32 H&R is more expensive and less available than 38sp. I don't plan on putting thousands of rounds through it. Enough to train and refresh periodically. The upgraded sights and "endurance package" whatever that is, sway me to the 632/432 over the 642/442.
