Unfortunately old eyes don’t see stainless front sight blades of Smith revolvers so well, even though the blade has a colored insert. How might a sight blade be darkened? Is painting an option? If so, what kind of paint? A darkening process would seem to be the quickest and most economical answer. Just curious if anyone has the same issue and solved it.
Having a new blued or black sight blade installed is a solution. However there is a good deal of expense involved not to mention that it alters the revolver from its original configuration. But it is an option to consider. Is there a source for blades? What might the cost of sight blade replacement run? Is there a particular gunsmith who might “specialize” in this type of work or is well known for such modifications?
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Stay safe and have a blessed day.
