I had that problem too; very thin front sight blade was hard to see. What I did was to take a piece of brass tubing (I used 1/16 inch O.D.) and file half the tube away leaving a 'U' shaped piece. Cut this to height of sight blade and epoxy it to blade. Paint it flat black. Use bigger tubing if needed. After hundreds of fired rounds, the makeshift sight blade is still solidly attached.

FWIW; AFAIK; IMHO; YMMV; yadda, yadda, yadda.
