First of all what kind of problem?
Maybe paint a Flo. Orange on it, or take it to a gunsmith and see what they suggest.
If they suggest new sights let them do the installing.
I take flourescent orange craft paint , use a toothpick, just touch a tiny drop,right in the center of the white dot.
Let it dry, then coat it with clear nail polish. Holds up good.
I also do the rear dots in flo green, nice easy to see contrast, and very cheap.
If and when it wears off, just redo.
What's on it now? I put Williams' Fire Sights (fiber-optics) on my MKII. A BIG improvement over the stock factory sights. I like the Trijicon night sights that came on my Sig a lot too. I know a guy with a combo fiber-optic/tritium night sight on a 1911, Looks great, I want that for my 1911.
Ruger's accessory section has Novak green fiber optic front sights. I have one on order, interested in seeing how I like it. I have a red fiber optic on my SP101 and it's a big improvement over factory. Don
Just last yesterday I received GLOW-ON (Phosphorescent Gun Sights Paint). I ordered it through Amazon, came in two days by mail. Applied it to my SR40C last night. Now my sights have a glow. At just a hair over $10.00. I now have a decent night sight.
Sorry to tell you Eric but I looked at the sight in the daytime and found it disappointing. Much less bright than the red one I have on the SP101. I like the stock sights better but that wouldn't have been the case if the green Novaks were as eye attracting as the SP101s are.
