Default 629-5 6.5" Ported- Front Sight Question

What size front size should I replace it with? The Patridge style is too tall to fit in the duty holster I just picked up for it, plus I want something I can pick up(see/aquire) much quicker.

Thanks for the help

Default 629-5 6.5" Ported- Rear Sight Question

You could also look at Bowen Classic arms.
They make a "Rugged rear sight"
Also Cylinder and Slide makes a true fixed sight, I would think either of them could also advise what height rear sight you would need.
Good luck,
Chris

I ended up just getting a standard adjustable rear sight. At some point, I will prolly end up throwing on a Cylinder and Slide set up at some point and time. Although I might pick up one of the fiber optic front sights in the F/S forum as soon as I figure out the proper front sight height, as I am finding the standard front sight hard to pick up for some reason.

Thanks for the insight Chris
