Fiber optic sight for GP100

I'm having a hard time seeing the front sight on my GP100 4". I shot my first IDPA match yesterday and had a great time, but after the Nitesiter strip I was using fell off, my accuracy fell off from 0 down to 4-6 down for the rest of the match. Can anyone recommend a fiber optic fron sight for the GP100? Thanks.

Ruger's fiber optic sight is a dead ringer for a Hi-Viz sight. I would not be surprised if Ruger is re-selling Hi-Viz.

I bought a Hi-Viz front sight for my GP-100 from Bass Pro Shop. Couldn't be easier to install. Big improvement (at least for me) over the factory front sight.

I ordered from HiViz. It just arrived and I installed it in 30 seconds, including changing the tube to green.
It seems to be a quality product and delivery was very fast. I'll try to get to the range tomorrow and see how it works.

Is there a hi-viz that will fit my 3-inch GP-100?

It should be the same. HiViz doesn't differentiate by bbl length. Does your 3" have the sight lock plunger. If yes, you're good to go.

Hey Rugergp100, I was just looking at some pics of the Franklin/Sylva area. Are you up to your eyeballs in snow?
