I was thinking about putting a red or orange bead on it. Would be handy to know what to buy.. Thank you.

[OLD and GRUMPY]

Bart-- welcome. Call Utah for the size.

I'm with you.  The only thing I don't like my carry Earl is the front sight. It snags when you draw it.  The sight picture is fine once I paint the front sight with orange model paint.

Bart - welcome to the forum. Are you thinking about unscrewing the existing sight and replacing it? I could be wrong, but I am pretty that the front sight on the Earl is actually an integral casting with the barrel. All one piece of stainless steel. A few years back some of us discussed the possibility of threading the existing sight and screwing a bead onto it, but I am not aware of anyone doing that.

You are right, called naa today. The sight is part of the barrel.
