Help find correct front sight

[pignut]

I have a S&W 686 plus performance center five inch revolver that came with the red front sight and I would like to change it to a fiber optic sight.
I have searched the net and can find lots of sights for 686 but they all say except for the performance center.
I called Smith and they said they only made the red sight. Red blooms so much for my eyes it's not so good. Green works better for me.
Can anyone help with this please.

If it were my revolver, but I didn’t want to fabricate my own sight:

Buy the red one from S&W, paint it green (lots of options for how to do so), tap the pin out to remove the original, drill the pin hole in the new sight, pin in place, be merry.

I have not tried it but it looks like it might be a good way to go.

I just found this as well. It goes along with the above link.

Finally got hold of the right person at Brownells and have the sight I was looking for on order. They had it all along just not coming up on line.Good old catalog listed it plain as day.
Thanks for the response.
