If sight coloration is the best approach to better sight acquisition, why isn't the red ramp used on those guns? It has been proven that the sharp, repeatable sight picture afforded by the black Patridge yields the best accuracy. Attend a bullseye match at your gun club and look at the sights on the competitors' guns.
