i'm planning on replacing the stock sights on my super redhawk and would like to get some input on what sights some people may be using that they prefer. i would like to replace the orange-block front sight w/a hi-viz sight which comes in either green or red and is round. i have the green hi-viz sight on a little plinker which is nice and bright but does anyone use the red that thinks it's the bees-knees? also i've currently been using the square notch rear sight, but would the "v" sight work better with the round hi-viz sight? i'm pretty sure i'm overthinking this.....

in my search i've seen that sights can come in different heights; say, 0.610" high or 0.533" high. i'm not sure how high the stock sight is but i seem to have plenty of adjustment left in it. sorry for my ignorance but what would drive me to buying a taller sight or shorter sight?

so i finally got a new front sight. it is 0.533" high. i went yesterday to sight it in and ran out of adjustment with it still being nearly 8" high at 25 yds. i have the v-notch rear sight. i assume if i switch back to the square notch i might get a bit more adjustment; also, as i thought more about it, if i got a taller front sight (0.610") it would bring the point of impact down a bit more also. right? so by getting the taller front sight and switching back to the square notch in the rear do y'all think it would bring the point of impact down enough?
i sure appreciate all the suggestions on sights. there were many that i wanted but were also incompatible with my particular side arm so i ended up getting the hi-viz front.
