So I have this S&W 1911 from the Performance Center I have mentioned before. 1000rnds plus, and it's a damn fine machine. I have no complaints (so far) but one, and that's the front site. The gun has a Wilson adjustable rear site with a simple black blade style front site.
It's just black on black site picture, which is very slow for me to get a site picture with. I would really prefer something up front to make the front site stand out from the rear. "So change out the front site" you say. Can't, as the 1911s from the PC have a proprietary cut, so you can't just buy a Novak front site, or Xpress site, etc and put it on. Blah.
So, I figure I have two choices. I can go the nicer more expensive route and send it to a place like tooltech who can put a Trijicon tritium insert directly into the front sight:

Don't know what the cost is, but no matter it will take time and $$$...
Or, for like $5-$6, I can get some site paint, paint the blade red, and be done with it:

Third option? Thoughts?
