Is there any practical way to mount a red dot on an S&W 638 snubbie?

It's so nice to carry but the sights suck

    Nope. The air weight series is designed specifically to have no way of improving the awful sights. This is how they upsell you to their more expensive j frame models with useable front sights. I only purchased a 360pd because of the changeable fiber optic front sight. I didn't carry about shooting .357 or saving an extra 2 ounces. If you want a reasonably concealable revolver with a red dot then you have to get a Taurus Toro. It's not even a bad revolver compared to the air weight series from S&W. S&W has been putting out some horrendous quality control on their revolvers recently.

      Do any of those have the bobbed but exposed hammer like the 638?

        I really wish they did. Unfortunately they don't.

    My dude…the Smitty Model 38/638 is the supreme belly gun.

    You don’t USE the sights on this weapon. It’s a Bad Breath range gun..literally what you use if you’re wrestling with some zombie.

    You get a grip, put your finger in the trigger, shove the muzzle into the solar plexus angling upwards, and yank the trigger repeatedly.

    That’s why you don’t WANT any more than a 2” barrel on these gatts, since you don’t want to give the Bad Guy a “handle” to grab onto.

    If you want to go the red dot or optics route, you need a different firearm.

    Your only hope is to somehow mill a dovetail where the rear sight is without weakening the aluminum frame, then mount one of those dovetail red dot mounts. It's a dumb idea tho, even one of the shield sights would be extra fat on top of that.

    That would be moronic and completely negate the ease of carry. Just practice more.

    Why do you need a red dot for shooting Communists execution-style in the side of the head?

    You won't like the way it carries after you add a dot.
