Default Replacement visible front sight for fixed sight L-Frame?
Howdy Folks,

I have a S&W 296 in .44 Special with a pinned, fixed front sight. My aging eyes are really not working with the black ramp. I've tried painting it orange, but that doesn't really help. I'm looking for something more visible. However, finding a sight that is actually designed for a fixed sight L-frame isn't as easy as I had hoped. There are all sorts of "Hi-Viz" sights for L-frames, but they all seem designed for adjustable sight guns. I don't want a too tall front sight that is going to shift POI. Does anyone have any experience with one of these sights on a fixed sight gun? I'm also open to other suggestions.

Thanks!
