Anyone tried the WC rear sight for Python?

[sierra11b]

We've read the woes of the rear sight and I currently am missing the retention screw for that reason... just walked off. Should have purple loctited the thing.

I just ordered two so will report back when they arrive (no ETA as on BO) Read and watched good things... They're currently on BO but they told me to order anyway after email inquiry... said it will be their 6th restock of the assembly and BO take priority.

New Python? Vintage Python?

Not WC and not for Python, but those sights are very similar to competition LPA sights I use on my S&Ws. With fiberoptic front, it's the way to go.

You normally want *blue* Loctite on the screws that hold the sight(s) and I put a small drop between the sight and the frame too. Purple works great for all other screws on a revolver so they don't get loose, but I'd stick to blue for sights and similar semi-permanent applications.

New.

Was unaware the old model had rear sight problems?

Neither was I for that matter.
