This may sound alittle stupid but I wanna change the color on my s&w model 586 front blade (Red I think, I'm color blind).I wanna put a big white site on it so I can see it better.Do I have to change the whole blade or will that little thing slide out?I told you this is a stupid question.Also where can I get the blade or the little color slot.Thanks in advance.Hershey

hershey, You don't say what color it is now, but all my front sights are now flat black. With my old eyes peeking thru tri-
focals, I find that I can pick up the black sight better than the red inserts on the Smiths.
What ever works for you is the correct color.

Do you have to knock out the whole sight or can I replace the red one for a white one.

Just push it off to the side it will come out. Brownell's had different color inserts or you can make your own out of a hunk of plastic. Use some type of adhesive to keep it in place. It's just a hunk of plastic in a dovetail notch.
