    Default front sight blank, super redhawk?

    I wish to remove the front sight from my redhawk. I was wondering if anyone knows of some place to get a blank to put in its place. I think the gun would have nicer lines if the sight was removed, but there would be an ugly spot where the sights goes unless you fill it with a blank. I have optics on my gun, and this is just something that popped into my head as i sit here bored to death cleaning my gun.

    just picked up a red insert front sight for a gp100 from ruger parts. as cheap as it was why not pick up another one and grind off the blade so you just have the base.

    not a bad idea, but they all appear to be black (blued), so i wonder how horrible they would look all ground off. Would be nice to have a stainless blank. Thanks for the idea tho

    Google "Bowen Classic Arms" front sights. They sell blanks for Rugers.

    No problem...I agree that what you want to do would look better with the optics.

    And if you fall and crush your aimpoint or the battery dies when you have no spare available then what?
