Not quite the right forum, but I haven't been on the gun ones for a while.
Has anyone swapped an LCR front sight? I feel it's too tall (and some google work indicates I'm not the only one to think so). Ruger has some high viz ones but warns the gun will shoot even lower! I know I can use Kentucky windage and all, but I'm tempted to figure out how to drift out the pin, grind it down and maybe hit it with some white paint. Ruger wants $25 per new sight, so if I fail, I guess I can always replace.
Hard to see in the photo, but the gun barrel sits up--and you can't see the channel that is the rear "sight". So the gun really does want to shoot low.
[Yes I know, grip hold, bullet weight and dwell time in the barrel will all alter point of impact relative to point of aim. But this site must be aimed for Magnums not 38spl!]
