Hey guys and gals
I just paid 30$ for a Hi-Viz green sight item SW1001 for my J-frame 649. That handgun currently has a modified front sight - the black blade was dovetailed with red goo. It is nice and all but I always wanted to go a step up. I finally racked up some $ and bought the Hi-Viz from Amazon. A couple of issues have croped up upon looking into it. 1) It seems a mm or two lower than the stock sight. 2) the green goo inside the vial for seems not as green as what I have seen on the item box cover or the Hi-viz website.
It is currently at the gunsmith to get fitted in (it has to be drilled etc). So my questions to the J-frame / Ruger guys who have swapped the front site for a Hi-Viz (or Meprolight or XS Sights) front unit..

- what brand did u go with?
- how do you find the results for aiming and acquisition in various conditions?
- would you have rather gone with another brand (XS instead of Hi-Viz, vice versa)
