I have been considering gold bead sight for my 21-4.
Front sight height depends on how your gun shoots.
POA/POI.
My gun shoots to POA (point of aim) with standard factory loads. 240 gr bullets at 750 to 800 fps. The 200gr HP loads (rated 900 fps) hit 2.5" lower.
The front sight on my gun is .255".
Now the lower front sight (.250") will raze the POI. Maybe just enough to get the 200 gr loads to POA.
The thing that concerns me is the rear sight notch on the 21-4 is quite shallow. To see all of a .125" dia gold bead in that shallow notch will get the front sight higher still, with a higher POI.
I'm reluctant to spend $50 on a sight that may not work.
Now that I have confused you, I'll just say that you will love the 21-4!
