Just bought a 44 rear sight... not sure it's the right one!

Ok so here goes!

 

I just scowled EBAY for the MILLETT rear sight I've been searching for for quite some time now. I found the DW00003 rear sight assembly (large frame revolvers) and thought what the heck, seeing how I'm getting a DW .44 for xmas I might as well get the rear sight while I can.

 

So I bought it for 40$ and thought it might even fit my 15-2.

It does not. Not even close.

 

I proceeded to look online for a picture of said DW00003 sight, and can't find one!

The closest sight I found from MILLETT is the python sight, and I'm fearing that I was sent that instead!

 

So my question ~ Can anyone post a picture of JUST the Millett rear DW00001 and

DW00003 sights? I just have to know if I have the right one ~ or if I have to slap someone from across the interwebs.

 

THX!! Mike

I think I have a DW0003 mounted on my DW 22... I'll check the model number for you.  It should fit the DW--I think it just sits a lot higer.

Mike -

I just went through this whole exercise this past month and can offer you the following information:

Here is a picture of the DW00001.  This sight will fit small frames, and blue.41/.44 serial # C00021275 / B023200 and higher, and SS .41/.44 serial # SC002354 / SD001825 and higher
The DW00001 is a white outline rear and is generally the one you want unless you have the lower serial # .41/.44.

Hree is a picture of DW00003 (less the elevation screw, roll pin, and springs).  This is a 2-piece mounting system rear sight for .41/.44 serial numbers lower than stated above.  The two sights are not interchangeable.  Hope this helps - now do you need to slap someone?
