I just got a Ruger GP100 4" with adjustable sights and love it. Took it to the range last week and the only thing I don't like about this gun is the front sight. Since the front and back sights are both black, I can't see the front sight very well and have trouble focusing on it.
I'm planning on getting a new front sight and have found 2 possibilities so far - there is a replacement front sight Ruger makes with a red insert: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/70423-6167-1114.html
I also found this, looks interesting: http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=320817 Says it's for the Redhawk, but I think I remember reading that GP100 and Redhawk front sights are interchangeable.
Which of these two are better, and are there any other options I should know about? I don't want to do anything that involves drilling or modifications to the gun, I want a sight that can just pop into place. This is a home defense/range gun but I would probably carry it if I ever moved somewhere where the Constitution was obeyed and I could open carry.
