Revolver picatinny attachment limited option
Posted by Agememmnon@reddit | Firearms | View on Reddit | 8 comments
So my girls got a rock Island .38 m2000 I believe is the full title for make and model. Anyways I'd like to find a picatinny attachment to go around her barrel ( you know, the 2 piece clamp you bolt together) to fit a laser as the iron sights on this gun are awful and I'd like to improve her accuracy as this is her EDC. Anyone know which, if there is, model of attachment that'll allow for this addition?

The best use for it is as a paper weight. They suck. Look into the ruger sp101 in 357. It’s small, concealable, and controllable with 38spc. It is heavier, but that does help with recoil. Get some speed loaders and you’re good. This is my go to pocket carry when entering non 2a supporting places.

Well, you can buy or 3D print a rail. but need to fasten it, probably under the barrel. Method will depend upon your skills with various materials, or your gunsmith's.
There are rails for various revolvers, but I didn't find for yours. I was lucky to find one for my weapon.
Your rail has to be aligned closely enough for your laser's adjustment options to meet your needs. The laser will be offset from the barrel, and you'll have to choose whether to zero at a certain range or just make it parallel to the barrel and know what your offset is.
For quick self-defense shots at center mass, offset of an inch probably doesn't matter much.

Paint the sights with nail polish, and get some grips colt d frame grips

For one, get her a nicer wheel gun. There is no such mount for the that revolver, at least that I know of. She should instead be hitting the range in order to get better. She shouldn't have an issue at hitting a man sized target at 10 yards or closer. It isn't a precision instrument. More ammo and more range time.

Yeah that is showing to be the consensus here, all true. She gets that range time but its true she's newer to having an EDC. We'll hit the range more to ensure her accuracy. Appreciate the input! Especially the fact there's most likely no mount for her selection.

Lol trust me, I've tried for 2 years..she wants this revolver. At least I've gotten her to carry something..just trying to make it actually somewhat effective at this point..

This isn't a target pistol. If she can't hit a human sized target at defensive ranges with those sights, hell, even just by point shooting, she needs practice. Not a laser.
