Despite hearing online about how the Remington 1858 sights are "better" than the Colt sights, I am finding quite the opposite when I shoot. The sights on my Colt 1849 Pocket and 3rd Model Dragoon are much easier to use than the Remington. Especially after I widened the "V" on the hammer a bit. I find the Remington front sight (I have a Uberti) to be too skinny to pick up easily - especially if it is a bit overcast. The rear channel is fine. Have any of you replaced the Uberti dovetailed front sight on the Remington with something thicker? Do you have a source for a sight that will fit the dovetail? I suppose I could remove the dovetailed sight, have a bit of weld added to the sides of the thinned post and then file and finish to get a thicker front sight, but that seems like a lot of work!
Thanks!
