Does anyone make a solid black front sight for the DW44? Ramp, patridge, undercut--I don't care, just no inserts or contrast enhancements, and not stainless. I can't find any on the web, and CZ's website is returning an error when I try to access their sales department.

Geminiman can cut you one from carbon steel and you can blue it. I have a few of his sights and they are excellent quality.

I just bought my first DW 357. It is shooting high and the rear sight is full down. I would like to try a taller front sight. What are my options?

 There have been some post on this same subject. A few things to try are
Â
1. Try some different ammo, heavier, lighter, faster or slower
Â
2. Adjusting the barrel to cylinder gap, more or less .002 to .006.
watch out, if gap is to tight cylinder will bind/drag on barrel
Â
3. Replacing the front sight with taller sight. here is link to to parts and service thread

Â
4. You can order one from member Geminiman

Thanks SHOOT! Sent him a PM.

I think in the meantime I will knock out that stupid insert, have someone weld it up, and then blast it with Krylon. (Did I mention I'm a bit perturbed with the current sight? Yesterday was the first time I've shot my .44 in typical summer sunlight, and the top third of the sight just . . . wasn't clearly visible. I managed to shoot a 10 shot 50 yard group that was about an inch wide and almost 8" tall.
