Sighting is straightforward and duty-focused, with a ramped, serrated front blade and a square-notch rear set into the topstrap. The sight radius measures 5.60 in for a clear and consistent sight picture.
The high-polish blued finish complements the revolver's service heritage, while the installed Trausch Combat grips add a secure, finger-grooved hold. The external hammer features a wide, serrated spur for confident manipulation.
