Has anyone ever had a gold bead installed on the front sight of a 92FS? Can anyone recommend a reputable smith who would be able to do the work?

Looking to have something like the bead at the bottom of the sight offerings installed... http://www.sdmfabricating.com/Gold%20Bead.htm

Thanks!

National rep gunsmith shops would be Cylinder & Slide or Wilson Combat. Either one is whom *I* would use unless I knew someone semi-locally.

Personally, I love that brass bead look on a front sight. Works well too.

That looks good. How is it in low light?

Depends where the light is. Worse than tritium, better than a white dot.

What about compared to fiber optic?

Not as good unless the light is behind the sight

I had that exact gold bead installed by a local Smith. Turned out really nice. I would think it would be a straight forward install for any competent Smith with the ability to do machine work, etc. In other words, not just an armorer.
