 What are some good precise Buckmark sights?

I have a stainless Browning Buckmark. I would like to get some new sights for it. The factory front sight is just too wide for precise shots.

Any recommendations?

Have you considered just filing it down a bit to get a finer sight picture?

I thought about that but then I need a narrower rear sight.

Not necessarily. If you file the front sight to a narrower point, leaving the base of the blade it's original width, you can still center the front sight in the original rear notch using the base as the reference then sight the tip of the blade for the bullseye. I've done this on a MK II & a Buckmark with great results.

Otherwise your only real option is new front & rear iron sights or a red dot optic, both of which can run into some serious cash for quality parts. My .02 worth, YMMV.

Got some recommendations for replacement iron sights?

Brownell's or Numrich.
