I'm very please to be able to bring you guys some exciting news this morning. Over the past several weeks I have exchanged several emails with Dan Wesson's grandsons Seth and Eric Wesson.   Since exiting the gun business 20 years ago they have operated and grown a successful metal fabrication business and after seeing the prices that are being ask for front sights they have decided to start reproducing them!  These sights are going to be offered in the 3 original colors of red, yellow and white along with three new colors, glow in the dark green, florescent green, and florescent orange.

I already have one of all six colors on the way and will let you know my thoughts once they arrive but I'm sure they'll be an excellent product!  So if you are in need of some front sights please give these guys your support!

You can order these sites directly from the Wesson family by visiting their website Dan Wesson Arms

Thanks Jody.

Ordered one of each to start. Want at least the 3 original colors for each BA I have, maybe more.

Ordered one each of the 3 new colors, and a couple extra set screws. They should do well with the sights, perhaps they will branch out and make some other parts as well.

I didn't think I would be updating you guys so quickly but checked the mail at lunch and there was a little box sitting on the porch.  Thought it was a hard drive I ordered but to my surprise it was the sights!  After looking at the sights I think you guys will be pleased!  I've always been partial to the yellow sight but I believe the new florescent green might be my favorite! 

Hopefully I'll be able to take some time this evening for some photos of the sights installed for you guys!

Lonwolf thanks for mentioning the set screws I completely forgot about that in my original post!

Picked up some myself- thanks for the link- I wouldn't have been looking.  Do they have plans to machine any other parts?

That is REALLY cool, I am glad they are doing these!

Looks like they still need to turn on their site "visitor counter".

Hi Guys,

Thank you for the support and kind words.  I am certain you will like these sights.  I wanted to do something like this for a while now and the timing is good.  The answer is yes, I would like to do other things related to the Dan Wesson Revolvers.  By the way, all the new orders from yesterday were shipped today.  You should be seeing them soon.  Remember the sights are shipped "dry" so oil them up when you get them and the get a nice matte finish.  Thanks again for your support.  It's good to be making parts again for the Dan Wesson.

Best regards
Eric Wesson

I received my sights on Saturday, I ordered all of them except red because i have lots of red.

The Glow in the dark green sight works great, sight-3-crop-web.jpgImage Enlarger

after taking the photo this sight glowed bright when i walked down

the hall way in the dark. It looks gray to me but it glows green.The sights in the photos are not color enhanced.

Stovepipe, those photos are calendar material!

I agree!
