This front sight has been increased in height by .020” (.200"tall) over the factory height (.180"tall) to be optimized with 125-135 JHP self defense ammo, when used with the Snake Sight rear blade. This will let you zero the rear sight without the rear sight being jacked up excessively high.
The serrated sight blade is made in the Improved Ramp pattern to give a sharper, blacker sight image, yet still be good for holster carry in modern good quality gun leather. It uses a 1mm fiber optic rod, which is large enough to be readily seen, but not so large as to over power the front sight's crispness by "halo" glow from a too-large fiber optic rod like others use. The front Snake Sight comes with a red fiber optic rod and also a spare rod in both red and green, which you should be able to get at least 3-4 replacements out of.
The front sight is .125” wide to allow placement of color contrasting features like gold beads, fiber optic rods or tritium lamps.
The HD Snake Sight front sight is offered in serrated plain black, with a fiber optic rod, or a 14k gold bead, high polished domed end.
