Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone is staying safe and avoiding any COVID nasty stuff. I have a 714 with service sights and I'd like to add a set of target sights but I do not want to deface the gun as it is in excellent condition and extremely difficult to find in Australia. Would any company have marketed a kit or is there a way to add them with a minimum of frame modification ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

IMHO, any frame modifications ruins the value of the gun. If it is just a tool as in LE work you could mill the back of the frame to accommodate a Ruger or or DW rear sight. The front sight blade would have to be replaced too. Or you could drill and tap the shroud and put a scope or red dot on.
Or buy another adjustable sight DW. Sorry I could not be more helpful. Other folks may have some ideas.

I know there was an after market adjustable sight for S&W that attached to the side plate screws. I've never seen anything for DWs however.
Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

Thanks gentlemen, I was not confident that a solution was available without damaging the revolver and I sure want to avoid doing that, Dan's are thin on the ground in Australia but I always have an eye open for one becoming available. I guess I just need to practice some more to learn how to use the existing sights better.
