Help with SA-35 front sight replacement search

Hey y’all,
Many years ago I had a chance to run a few mags through a custom HP while I was deployed to the Sandbox. The HP belonged to a FBI HRT operator.
I really liked how my eyes were automatically drawn to the Gold bead front sight.
Now that I’m getting ready to purchase a SA-35 I’d like to get a gold bead front sight for it but I’m having trouble finding one. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance 🤠

You are welcome. Please note that I don't have any direct experience with these gold bread sights. I guess the 1911 and SA35 are similar enough platforms, it's possible that a gunsmith may have to modify the unit to fit. Hopefully you can figure out what height to use. Good luck! Please show us the finished product.

I'm a fan of tritium Speed Sights myself, although I don't have them on my 1911, yet. ;)

Gold bead and ivory beads have been used on express sights for many years. They are popular on big dangerous game rifles like rhe doubles used in Africa. I used a gold bead and V notch on my Ruger Redhawk 44 mag and my Remington 760 in .35 Remington for hunting for years.
