Dan Wesson sight

[mdlowry]

I picked up a Dan Wesson .357 a while back. On the first range trip, I needed to adjust the sights. I was able to adjust the windage, but it didn't click into place. It seemed somewhat loose. I didn't bring an allen wrench with me and was unable to adjust elevation. By the time I was almost out of ammo, I was able to borrow one. I think that I may not have enought travel on the elevation, but ran out of ammo.

Is this normal for DW revolvers? I wouldn't think so. Can I get a replacement rear sight (and where)?

FWIW, it has a 2.5" bbl (picked up a 6" also) and was made in Monson, MA.

It's been years since I fooled with a Dan Wesson. I'd call them and talk to them about it. They might supply a sight for you. http://www.danwessonfirearms.com/. George

Have the serial number handy when you contact them.
Not all used the same sights.

The older Dan Wesson's had rear sights that tended to wobble and the windage adjustments did not have very positive clicks. Millet makes a replacement rear sight which solves those problems. I understand that the new production Dan Wessons have a different rear sight that does not wobble.

Thanks stans. That seems to be what I have. I'll take a look for the Millet replacement.
