I (and wife: WESHOOT2) use stock rear sights. Hers still wears the stock front; mine wears a Millett orange-ramp front blade.
The Millett front blade is my preferred front sight; at one time I had five Redhawks all wearing that blade. My remaining pair wear them.

I tested the One Ragged Hole ghost-rings but found their OD too gross (ID matches my Caspian ghostring used on 1911s).
I tested the Marble fiber-optic front and found its OD too large.

Bowen offers superb choices. Check Brownells for other alternatives.
