A 3" fixed sight GP100's front sight is pinned in. There may be someone who makes one but it might just be easier to paint it. First, degrease it good with acetone, then apply a coat of white model paint. Let that dry and then coat with whatever color suits your needs. Some like orange, some like the bright green, others like other colors. Pick the one that YOUR eyes pick up the best. The white paint fills in all the serrations on the sight and makes the second color really show up much better.
They want $250.00 for one.

Have you looked at Hi-Viz to see what sights they offer?
That'll get you a lifetime supply of Testor model car paint
Don't knock me here. I paint mine a florescent hot pink. My daughter gave me the idea after she did her pistol with pink fingernail polish. I tried the other colors with orange coming in second.

Testors model paint for me too.
You color your front sight with what works best for YOU. That bright pink looks like it will show up really good especially in the late afternoon, early evening when it's starting to get darker/longer shadows, or on an overcast day.
yessir its called 'DayGlo Orange'.........about all we use anymore.......
I have the same one. It's one of my never-sell guns. I think these were a limited run, maybe?
Recently, I have considered letting D&L put some of their sights on it.
I happen to have 3" fixed sight models in blue and stainless. The hard to find 3" model is the blued with adjustable sights, I think they only made a limited run of those. I can find a 2 1/2" model (a distributor model) but haven't found a 3" yet.
Man, I love the 3" GPs... Had one years ago and let a buddy talk me out of it. He will NOT let it go
Please post some pictures of the gun and sight!
