Before going to a dark front sight I would shoot the gun or at least test it out in several lighting situations.
The solid blue is almost impossible to see in low light.
The inserts are fairly easy to change and are available in a variety of colors.
I much prefer the red insert to the solid blue and have put green fibers on a couple I carry often.
On a couple of rifles I have put a white dot on the front ala Elmer Keith and also the rear underneath a V notch.
Makes a HUGE difference.
My hunting Redhawk got a gold bead that I then painted white.
It also has the V notch rear like the double rifles of old.
Old Elmer knew what he was talking about.

Looking at your neat 44, I can't help but see Skeeter Skelton patrolling the border wearing that same gun.
It's the perfect service revolver.
