Default Fiber optic sight for 617?

Looking for a fiber optic front sight for my 617. It is pinned and about .170" tall. Not having much luck finding one on the web, all I can find are taller for a centerfire revolver. Any help would be appreciated.

The SDM super sights are actually made for a Millet rear.
They may or may not work with factory rear.

Hi-Viz makes one specifically for the 617. I just ordered and received one, but have not had time to install it. It is listed on their website. It looks good. I also got one for my J frame. I believe this is the make/model S&W is using as factory now, Hi-Viz with clear insert over it.

Brownells has it - HiViz #SW617 (.165" height)- Brownells #638-000-179 $43+.

(I have one 'in the mail' from them now!)

I put a Hi-Viz on my 4" 617, and it's great!
