adding to a fixed front sight

[dangerranger]

I have an Italian Titan 32 auto that has a fixed front sight that's too low by .15". At some time its had its slide replaced and the replacement is a little taller in the rear. I'm thinking of soldering a piece of thin sheet metal to both sides of the front sight, filling the center with solder and then filing to shape and size. what I don't want is for it to look like some one just glued a piece on top of the sight blade. one other possibility is to fill the middle with a fire sight pin. Has anyone else tried this? DR

Could you file down the rear sight and recut the notch a little deeper?

That would be my first plan but the rear sight slot is right down to the top of the slide already. The only way Id make that work is mill the sight into the slide. Or maybe mill off the front and solder on a new sight base. DR

TIG weld it up and reshape. This will be the strongest and most cosmetically pleasing way.
