I have a S&W model 65 which was a range rental gun and it's barrel was replaced with that of a model 64. It is shooting about 4" high at 15 yards. Would it be possible to build up the front sight with silver solder and then file it until I get the height I want? It would not be permanent as eventually I would try to have it replaced when I determined the optimal height for the loads I will use with it. I have done this before but never with a stainless gun.
