I use a all-black rear sight (Bo-Mar adjustable) with a fiber optic front sight. The FO front shows up like a laser dot and allows for wicked fast sight acquisition. You do lose some precision since you need to put the sight on top of your intended POI, but a) you make up for it with the speed on closer targets and b) most Action Pistol target engagements are inside of 20 yards.
