New sights for a taurus 431

[ddtaylor]

I went shooting with my newest gun and I can't even pick up the front sight when it starts to get dark is there any company that makes a new front sight for a taurus 431? I looked on midway and didnt find anything.

I just looked at the front sight and it is just part of the barrel is there a custom gunsmith who would even work on a taurus?

Any capable gunsmith with proper machine shop should be able to put a drop-in front sight on your 431. Perhaps a XS Night Sight similar to what is on the S&W Nightguards would be to your liking?

There are special coloring kits for sights. I have a stainless steel revolver that the sight is integral with the barrel like yours, that I have trouble with in the field in daylight. I'm going to try paint before getting serious about the machining route.

Yes I would very much like a night sight with the fiber optic tube. Also is it a special kind of paint meant to go on a front sight?

 

[MMCSRET]

Yes, it is a special paint, just for sights. Check Midway, I'm going to when I get time.

Nail polish works great and there are tons of colors to choose from.

Ask you wife for her opinion!

My wife doesn't even know what nail polish is I'm gonna talk to her mother about it she is always painting nails. I called a couple of gunsmiths and they told me they would touch a taurus is there any gunsmith who will?
