Default Gold Bead and 625 5"

I am interested in a gold bead on my revolver and would like to know if the original rear sight works well. Seems like I read somewhere the bead may be too wide for the rear sight. What do you guys use? Thanks for the help.

I have a SDM gold bead front sight on my 625. Works fine with my rear sight.

The SDM gold bead front sight works well on both my 625 and 627. My SDM sight was the same width and height as the factory original.

No complaints with a SDM gold bead on a 4" 625.
