Anyone here into firearms?

It's easier to get it out undamaged in a dovetail than if it's pinned in. There's usually a decent enough smith at your local range that has a sight pusher. The issue becomes the angle of the dovetail. Make sure whatever sights you buy have the same angle or you'll have to recut the dovetail. I've seen a few night sights that actually come with the pusher. Can't remember the brand- maybe AmeriGlo?

Any recommendations for a nice double action revolver? I'm looking into a 357 mag. I like the fact that i can shoot 357mag and 38spec.
I will mainly use it for a range toy and hd as well.
On another forum people were recommending me the ruger gp100 or the s&w686.

The 686 would get my vote, but both are awesome revolvers. You cant go wrong either way.

Both are excellent, but I would go for the S&W. I own a Ruger GP100 and have been very happy with it but the S&W has a trigger pull that is a smidge smoother. The Ruger is a great looking pistol though.
