    Ruger 22/45 Fiber Optic front sight.

    Just DROS'ed Ruger 22/45 with replacable grips.

    Please recommend me a good Fiber Optic front sight for it, I don't like black on black.

    Please advice.

    thanks

        I always prefer Williams Fire sights to any other Fiber Optic sight company. I had them on my buckmark 22lr rifle...they are the brightest I have ever seen. I have HiViz on my M&P22 pistol...they are just ehhh, I will switch them out for fire sights.

          My 22/45 has a Dawson fiber optic front sight. I also have used the Hi Viz version and I like the Dawson better. The Dawson sight has a cleaner sight picture and it can be ordered in different width blades.

          Hi Viz

            What height Dawson precision front sight should I order? .420? I am planning to use stock adjustable rear sights on Ruger 22/45 5.5" bull barrel. Is .100W width OK or thinner is better? ramped or flat?

            Will this Dawson precision front sight goes well with rear stock sights?

                I like the Hi Viz sights because it is so easy to replace the FO rod. Have 'em on all of my Mark pistols.

                Here is the latest addition, on a new Mark III Target. Each Hi Viz comes with several FO rods in various colors.

                Come and Take It!

                  I'm not going to be much help right now on the dawson sight because I don't have my caliper handy until next weekend. I think mine is .125" wide and it is .420" high but I'm not 100% sure on the height. On the width the narrower sights are faster to pick up but there is more wiggle room on the accuracy side too. Give dawson a call on the stock height.

                    Which one is more popular? Hiviz? Brightness should be same on both dawson and hiviz right?

                    thanks

                      I run the Hi Viz on my 22/45's and Single Six. Plenty bright, easy to swap FO rods, and not overly bulky. I prefer the green over the red as the red seems to "bloom" as I have gotten older (vision issue).

                        Ordered HiViz sights from Amazon.

                            Does the Dawson work well with the stock rear on the Target model?

                              I have HiViz on mine and my friend has the same gun with Williams firesights on his 22/45. I prefer the Williams firesights on his over my HiViz sights.
