    Default Are there after market front sights for my revolver?

    I just picked up a Charter Arms Target Bulldog 357 Magnum. The rear sight is pretty nice and it is adjustable, however, the front sight is a big solid block of grey colored steel and it Is difficult to be accurate with it.(because of the size and color) Are there after market front sights? Do I have any other options? I just put some red nail polish on it a few hours ago and it helps a little bit, but it's not ideal. I hate when front sights are so big, because it covers up most of the bulls eye and makes it hard to be precise. Other than the front sight, the gun seems to be pretty decent so far.

    Thanks, Isaac

    I believe these all have fixed front sights so you get what you get with them.

    White or some other high vis nail polish on the back of the sight helps

    I remember being told that if you paint the sight ramp white before applying your bright red or orange it makes the color pop. I've never tried it but I thought I'd share.

    You could also take it ot a gunsmith and have him mill a little from the sides to give a better sight picture in the rear sight opening. Also, you can get a high visibility sight paint kit from Brownells.
