Lots to be said for a fat square Sourdough gold front sight. Think about it - why do all handgun sights, target/hunting/self defense/etc., present a fat square post front sight to the eye, when once upon a time such front sights on target pistols and a lot of utility handguns were round beads?

I'm thinking you and Fury01 are right. Thanks.
