Dovetailed revolver front sight question

[Doc Hurd #12379]

Is a front sight like below approved for use in SASS matches?

[Goody, SASS #26190]

Yes, if the white portion on the rear of the sight is just a glare, the sight would be legal in any category that allows adjustable sights.

Not if those are colored inlays.

Huh... I thought it was glare. Looks like a "dual elevation" sight.

[Abilene, SASS # 27489]

Dovetailed sights are also legal on Cap'n'ball or opentop/conversion revolvers in fixed sight categories.  (Also page 37 SHB)

Thanks everyone!  The information I was reading about these sites stated the inlays were gold.

I would ask for an external modification approval before I invested a lot of time (and/or money), into these sights; and for what category.  

Getting an opinion from some folks on the Wire has no bearing if the modified sights are challenged.

Rear and front sights may be “blacked,” painted, or plated in the colors of the previously listed materials. If blacking, paint, or plating is applied to a revolver front sight, it must cover the entire rear surface of the sight to give the appearance of a solid material.

Beaded post front sights or inserts are not allowed.
