1st post! I am the proud new owner of a Ruger Alaskan in 454. It is a joy to shoot with the 45 Colts (for sighting in), and an attention getter with Speer 300 gr gold dot hollow points. Like many others, I don't like the front blade so I fired off an email to Trijicon. Here was the exchange:

Wow. 17 days to reply. I had long since given up. I have a milling machine, and after a little looking, I found 1.5mm by 5mm tritium glow tubes and have ordered 2. I plan to put on a Meprolight rear and make my own front (with one spare). I got the tubes off candlepower forums in the for sale section. You can also get optical clarity, UV curing glue there. I know it's not going to be easy, but I think it can be done. I am really more curious about the tube withstanding the recoil. I already glow; I was a "nuke" in the Navy. I'll post the results.
Thank you,
Gary
