Default Model 21 Gold Bead Front sight?

Just picked up one of the .44 Special Model 21 closeouts from Buds. First to go were the factory stocks, followed by the thumbpiece. As I can't leave well enough alone, I'm thinking I'd like to replace the half moon front sight for a McGivern gold bead one. Found one that might do the job. It is from JDM:



Wondering if anyone has fitted one to their fixed sight Smith and how it worked out? Understand its a few thou shorter then the original, but I can probably adjust loads to compensate for any POI change.

thanks,

I really love that sight. I don't know why it wouldn't be a good one for your 21. I've put it on my 24-3, 624, and 60-10.
