Rear sight adjustment question

pvanosta · February 19, 2002, 05:29 PM

Repost from the revolver forum (no luck there):
I have a Dan Wesson .357 MAG small frame revolver. I think it's a model 15, but it doesn't list the model specifically.

My question (and it will show my newbie status clearly): the rear sight is adjustable. What I need to know (and hopefully this is a standard feature not specific to older Dan Wesson revolvers):

If I turn the elevation screw clockwise, does the sight go up?
If I turn the left/right screw clockwise (it's located on the right hand side of the rear sight), does the sight go left or right?

Thank you for your time.

clockwise should be up, and left. Unless there lefthand threads, but can't say I every saw any lefthand one's.

Thanks Kurt, that gives me better than the 50/50 chance I had before!
