Patridge sight options for the 4" Redhawk .44?

[milo z]

My father picked up one of the new .44Mag 4" Redhawks at a gun show today - the DA pull on it is about as smooth as anything I've shot.

Real tempted to get one myself now, but I am absolutely hopeless with plastic insert ramp sights for revolvers. Was curious if there was an easy patridge style replacement (or even a gold-bead sight like on the front of some S&W revolvers), or failing that an all-black ramp?

Bowen Classic Arms carries some good target sights, but maybe not patridge sights.

Ruger used to sell a gold bead sight and a plain serrated ramp on their website.

I have the Ruger V-notch rear with gold bead front on my Super Redhawk. I like it and it's an easy swap.

They still have the Gold Bead front sight

The 4" Redhawks I have seen do not have the interchangeable sights of the others. Any decent gunsmith should be able to fashion a replacement patridge sight that could either be pinned or dovetailed. Perhaps SDM could fashion a gold bead front sight for the Redhawk.

In the past I have had Jim Stroh custom make a gold bead front sight for a Detective Special. He can make the beads in different sizes. See:
