Ruger LCR 22 lr sight question

[canonsix]

Am I correct, there is NO green fiberoptic front sight available for the 22lr version??? Thanks, Doug

Won't the Hi-Viz sight for the LCR work?

According to the Ruger site:

When mounted on the LCR® .22 model, however, the point of impact will shift down as much as 5 inches when fired at a 15 yard target.

Makes it a bit hard to use...

White nail polish will help a great deal, my wife has the 22 mag with the factory white front site and it helps a bunch.

Lots of colors of finger nail polish that will certainly make things more visible. White is good, as is yellow, and orange.

Model car paint in orange works well for me. I lay down a coat or two of white first, then the orange really pops.

I have been using yellow for a long time. Doug

I put a Hi Vis on mine. And taking a correct sight picture it does shoot Waaay Lo.
The main mission of my LCR22 is as a practice J Frame size revolver. Cheap to shoot, and no recoil. It is a great revolver to put in a lot of trigger time with.
I have shot it in Defensive Pistol matchs and done fine with it.
How I do this is to put the Fiber Optic Ball on top of the strap, and not down in the trough.
This has worked ok for me, and what I am doing with it. I also have a couple speed loaders for it. For speed strip practice I load 2 and skip a hole for cylinder clearance.

For anyone who wants better than combat accuracy sight paint is probably a better answer.
