Personally I would love to have the magnaported one. I know a lot of people hate the magnaporting but I grew up when it very cool. I have an 80 series 45 Gold Cup that is magnaported and it's not going anywhere. Plus it make one hell of a fireball about dusk!!!
My early M66 had all stainless sights. Front sight blade pinned to integral front sight ramp, as above, no red insert. Rear sight was all stainless including the sight blade.
Very hard to see in most light. I replaced the rear sight blade with a w/o blued blade of the correct height shortly after I bought the revolver. Painted the front sight.
